- Under Lotus 1-2-3 v1.0 I am having a problem with a file that relies on
- another file for all of it's data. The trick is that the file it relies on
- relies on many other files for it's data. Imagine this diagram:
-
-
- |----------File A
- |----------File B
- |----------File C
- File X ----> File Y ---------File D
-
-
- The problem is that if "File Y" is not up to date (ie: it's links have not
- been refreshed" then the information in "File X" is wrong. Unfortunately
- with just "File X" open an Update-Links won't update "File Y" so "File X"
- is not getting the right information.
-
- Is there an easy way for me to resolve this problem (ie: make sure that File Y
- is up to date) or should I just recode File X to get all of it's data from
- the files that File Y uses?
-
- Thanks in advance.
