Subject: Re: Links to other spreadsheet not always working?

You very very kind indeed to take the trouble to download the three
files and I feel sorry for having misled your attention from the main
problem as a consequence of the (temporary) wrong link. I say '
temporary' because all the links are now established correctly on my
PC, all the files are in the right directory but the problem is still
there.


The structure of the three files is very simple: all of them have a
'named range' ("last_bal") in cell Hn  (Nn for the bank_short.ods) and
a reference to it in cell 'B1' .
In files First.ods and Second.ods there is  a 'Summary of links to other ss=
' :
=3D'file:///home/ennio/prove/filename.ods'#$Sheet1.B1
The link to bank short.ods gives '0' as a result in both First or
Second, but, if I change this link to cell Nn of bank_short file
(instead of B1 like the other two) the correct result appears.

That's all and these are the facts.
Now, if you think it is worth your time to continue investigating the
case I'll be happy to be noticed about, otherwise I will simply not
use that kind of structure for my real files.

BTW, the phrase:
    "If they work on your PC, ..."
in my last post was just a conditional phrase; I meant to say that in
case you had gone further ahead (correcting the wrong links) and had
verified that they worked on your PC etc. etc. and did not absolutely
imply that you had said they worked on your PC.

Regards,
     Ennio
