Hi everybody,
1) I have a Visio-file linked to an Excel-file to display data in Visio.
2) the excel-file and the visio-file are together in the same folder!
3) when I copy this folder to an other location (e.g. computer),
    I loose my link-information and must re-establish the link
4) this means some "expert-knowledge" to do this.
5) it would be very useful to have a relative link to avoid the re-link
    procedure.
6) Is there a possibility to create the link as a relative link
    (visio- and excel-file always will be in the same folder!)

Thanks for your help

Peter
