I have an excel file that linked to powerpoint slide, when I was working in different computer and trying change the value in excel file, the data didn’t updated automatically in powerpoint slide. A message appear tell me that I need to update the links manually.
So, how to update the link between excel file and powerpoint in different computer automatically or “in one work”..???
need help…
thx in advanced….
To roll your own, you’d look at the Excel shape’s .LinkFormat.SourceFullname property.
It will point to the location where PPT expects to find the file.
Move the file to wherever you want it and change .LinkFormatSourcefullname to the new full path to the file. It must be the full path; relative paths won’t work.
There’s some VBA code to automate this here if the old path and new path are consistent:
