Steve,
I believe this article addresses a different problem. ( I previously
experienced the issue they are addressing when copying a wide range of
cells). The problem I'm having deals with a changing the range of the cells
included in a PP link after the information has already been paste-specialed.
I spoke with one of my IT co-workers and he believes the problem may have
something to do with ActiveX control vs. OLE programming. It seems like the
mini-Excel workbook appears if I paste an object. If I were only pasting,
this might work, but since the data I am working with changes frequently, I
want to be able to link to Excel. I would love to be able to use this
feature. Thanks.
