I know this question has been asked before but the solutions don't seem to
work
with what I'm trying to do.

I can get PowerPoint to work with Excel fine, when all the files are on one
machine but
I need to update a Excel worksheet on one computer and have the updated
figure appear
in a PowerPoint running on another networked computer.

As I say, the Links seem fine when running on a single machine, it's across
a network I have the problem.

Thanks for any advice.

Andy, I haven't tried this yet, since I'm no longer a big fan of
linking (g). But try a quck test and let us know how it works.

Create the PowerPoint file on a network drive in the same folder as
the Excel data. Then open and test from several networked machines.
Should work.
