Connector linkages can be generic in nature. Formulas may not refer to a specific client file which allows the linkages to retrieve data from potentially any Working Papers client file.

Linkage Protocols: DDE to UDF Link Conversion
The User Defined Functions (UDF) protocol is the latest method of linking Microsoft Office documents with the Working Papers database. UDF offers enhanced functionality over its predecessor, the Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) protocol.

Link Conversion for Third-Party Documents
Convert links from third-party applications to Connector links that are compatible with Working Papers. A conversion tool is available from Connector for replacing existing link formulas with their corresponding equivalents in Connector.

About Protected Workbooks, Worksheets, and Cells
When a worksheet is protected, all of its cells are locked by default. As a result, some features in Connector are disabled when a workbook or worksheet is protected.
