When I open a file, it request "This file contains links to other files. Should they be updated?

When I open a file it prompts: "This file contains links to other files. Should they be updated?" There are none so far I know. When I tried to edit it (Edit-->Links), Links are shaded (indication that there are none). A search showed that no solution was yet find and the conclusion was that it is probably a bug.

Please attach a test document that exhibits the problem. Without a test document it is impossible to reproduce the bug and then to fix it.

Best regards. JBF

Thanks for coming back for more information from my side.

Basic stats about my system is:
Win 7 Prof 32 bit
RAM = 4GB (3.22 usable)

Libre Office Version: 4.4.3.2
Build ID: 88805f81e9fe61362df02b9941de8e38a9b5fd16
Locale: en_ZA

The original files was an Excel 2002. I recently changed to LibreOffice and the file is still in the Excel format.
I presume that sometime back there was probably a linked file, but is no more the case.  Excel open it without
issues.  Also if you checked for linked files in Excel, the Edit/Links are disabled.
 I simplified the original file to something very basic.  When I tried to open, the file still gives the message: 
"This file contains links to other files. Should they be updated?"

Once loaded, the Edit/Links instruction is also greyed out.

I suppose an old linked file flag is still set that causes the issue and I am not able yet to find a way to reset it.

I hope this will help you to resolve the problem.

Regards

FCK

Open the "Manage names" dialog (Ctrl+F3) and you will see names refering to another file.
Delete these names.
