XL2000: "Incomplete Calculation" Error When You Open File Linked to Exported Access Table (284210)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Excel 2000

This article was previously published under Q284210

SYMPTOMS

If you export a table from Microsoft Access 2000 to Microsoft Excel format, and then link from a new file to the resulting workbook, when you open the linked workbook and update links, you receive the following error message:
Links to filename were not updated because filename was not recalculated before it was last saved.

CAUSE

This error message occurs due to a problem with the Excel indexed sequential access method (ISAM) driver that is included with Microsoft Office 97, Service Release 2 (SR-2).

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, open the exported Excel file in Excel, press CTRL+ALT+F9 to recalculate, and then save the file. You can now open the linked file without errors.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem is scheduled to be corrected in a future version of the ISAM driver.
