Within a Workbook file, referenced links may be different than the instance of Excel you are currently using if:
-
The file you are opening was saved using a previous version of the AVEVA Historian Client Workbook.
-
The file you are opening was saved using a different computer.
The AVEVA Historian Client Workbook add-in automatically updates only the AVEVA Historian Client Workbook reference within the file to use the current add-in location.
If Microsoft Excel detects that links need updating, a message box appears.

From this dialog box, you can choose to update the links or keep them the same.
To open an existing Workbook file
-
In Excel, from the File menu, click Open.
-
Select the name of the file to open and click Open.
