I can not create an external link between two Excel 2007 workbooks

Even by puttting the simplest = in the destination workbook cell then tabbing
over to the source workbook, i can not create the link. When in the source
workbook, there is no indication that I am attempting the link. It is if the
two are 100% completely separate and not linkable.

Can someone please help with what should be a very simple task?

I would guess you have two instances of Excel running with a workbook open
in each instance.

Will not communicate.

Close one instance and open both workbooks in a single instance.
