I've been working for a couple months on an Excel Workbook which is now linked to a Powerpoint Presention...they are saved as "Smith Calculator" and "Smith Presentation." When I make a change in the Calculator, the links update nicely. They are saved to a single folder on my desktop.

Now here's my issue: Is there a way to RENAME these files so they stay linked to each other? I would like to change them to "Blank Calculator" and "Blank Presentation."

(I don't want to break those links by making a change) THANKS!
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Once you rename "Smith Calculator" to "Bank Calculator", you'll need to edit the link in your presentation...

VBA Code:
Ribbon >> File >> Info >> Edit Links To Files

Then select your link from the list, click on Change Source, select "Bank Calculator", and then click on OK.

Hope this helps!
