Workbook Links error need help

This issue with Microsoft Office Excel is triggered when you try to open a Microsoft Office Excel workbook. This issue may occur if the Microsoft Office Excel workbook you are trying to open includes links from a closed Microsoft Office Excel workbook that is in the HTML format or was saved using the HTML file format.

This is because Microsoft Office Excel is not capable of updating links from a Microsoft Office Excel workbook that is saved in HTML format if that workbook is closed. Microsoft Office Excel can only properly update the links if the link source file is opened. Microsoft verified that Microsoft Office Excel 2007 is the Microsoft product affected by this problem.

As a workaround, first, open the HTML file that the Microsoft Office Excel workbook is linked to. After this, open the Microsoft Office Excel workbook that contains the links. This should fix the problem.
