OLE IS MISSING LINKS

OLE IS MISSING LINKS

OLE IS MISSING LINKS

(OP)
Hi

I have a drawing with embedded link for a spread sheet table. I moved the file to a differernt network location. Now my dfrawing lost the table. Its important to keep the network location. Can some body guide me as to whats going on here.
Thanks

RE: OLE IS MISSING LINKS

OLE in general is notoriously unstable.  If you can create what you need natively within your application, that is usually for the best, even if the data already exists in another program.  

As far was this specific problem, was the drawing with the spreadsheet on the harddrive previously?  Did you make the link so that it points to that specific network location?
