In Microsoft Excel 2002 and in later versions of Excel, a link can be any of the following items:
- A reference to another workbook (sometimes called an external reference)
- A link to another program (sometimes called a remote reference)
- A link to data on the Internet, the World Wide Web, or your company intranet
Because data in another workbook, another program, or on the Internet may change and outdate the data in your workbook, there are options for controlling the updating of links.
This article lists some frequently asked questions and troubleshooting tips about how to use links in Excel 2002 and in later versions of Excel. The article also includes corresponding Microsoft Knowledge Base articles.
