Hi Joe:
Because the Excel file is still back at work on the work server. The link
to the Word document is a file path, not a file. If the network is not up,
or you cannot access the directory where the file is from home, you will get
this.
To avoid this, insert your Excel files as "Linked and Embedded" int he Word
document. This offers the best of both worlds: if the file *is* available
(the document is veing viewed from work) then the Excel chart will update to
the latest. If you are at home, then Word will use the embedded copy of the
Excel chart.
Cheers
