I'm helping someone with a very large book. It is a financial plan, that
links to many spreadsheets/workbooks. It is updated annually.
This year, due to situations not necessary to describe here, they need to
keep an editable version of 2010 while they put together 2011.
The end goal is to not overwrite 2010 and be able to safely create 2011.
Here's the challenge, the excel files they have been updating over the years
do not reside in the same folder or even one or two steps up on the file
heirarchy. They are spread out over multiple servers and absolute links are
used throughout.
What is the most efficient (and safest) way to work on 2011 while preserving
2010 as an editable document?
If it requires copying all of the linked spreadsheets and master publisher
file and putting them into one folder for 2011, is there way to export all
the links so I can easily find all those files?
Or do you suggest another solution?
Thanks in advance for you assistance.
