Linking Excel spreadsheets into Powerpoint

B

I have a 6 page Powerpoint Presentation. On three of the slides I have links to one Excel workbook, each link is to a different worksheet in that workbook. The links are working fine until I close both the Excel Workbook and the Powerpoint presentation. When I re-open the Powerpoint presentation the links to the file still exists but not to the individual spreadsheets as originally set-up. All links on the Powerpoint wind up linking to the last spreadsheet that was open. For example - Link 1 goes to Sheet1,

Link 2 goes to Sheet2 and Link 3 goes to Sheet3. When I close and re-open the Powerpoint presentation, Link 1, 2 and 3 go to Sheet3.


Any help would be appreciated.

This is mostly a PowerPoint question that an Excel one, but maybe if you upload your presentation someone might be able to help you. Give a look at the green sticky posts at this forums main page for uploading guidelines.

PS: Here's an example that works and not loses worksheets nor ranges or cell links:
