My Window 7 pc just died (had OO 4.1.15 installed) and my data files were on an external drive. Have attached the drive to a different Windows 7 pc (also has OO 4.1.15 installed) and the files open but there are an annoying series of prompts to "update all links" which NEVER HAPPENED ON THE OLD PC. I have searched high and low for settings to correct this and all seem OK except for EDIT / LINKS where the update status is set to MANUAL and changing to AUTOMATIC IS GRAYED OUT. In TOOLS / OPTIONS / OO CALC / GENERAL it is set to UPDATE FILES ON OPENING "ALWAYS". How can I get it to automatically update files when I load them without this annoying and time consuming prompts that were not there on my old PC using the same version of OO and using the same data files? The links all still work, but it is annoying and time wasting to have to repeatedly approve UPDATE LINKS: YES or NO. I've searched Google and find that this problem seems to have been around since at least OO v4.1.3 but I have not found a solution anywhere. PLEASE HELP. THANKS.
