BTW, all linked files are available. I can open the file
path that appears in the "Edit" --> "Links" area using
Excel as a standalone application.
It appears to me that this is is a bug in Office XP SP3
that requires another patch. All OLE linking appears to
have been disabled with the latest patches. Office 97 and
Office 2000 work fine.
I don't have confirmation from Microsoft regarding this
assessment, however.
My workaround for my particular situation:
1.) Re-construct the original file using Office 2000
(relative paths work only intermittently on our Novell
network when using Office 97).
2.) Update links and perform any other modifications as
desired using Office Automation.
3.) Save a copy of the original file and display the copy
to the client.
4.) NEVER overwrite the original file by saving it using
Office XP SP3. Doing so will corrupt all existing links
in the PPT file.
So, how do I report this as a bug?
