Thanks Michael for your quick response; I was away and didn't check till now. 
I'm new to Bugzilla hope I can get back to you via "Additional Comments", 
otherwise please let me know and I'll try again.
To further follow up (in response to your questions):
1. To create a link:
  I probably used the wrong term, I meant to reference another Excel sheet 
using the formula syntax "=[file.xls]Sheet1!$A$1" (Will try to upload some 
sample files in a minute, please see Cell B1 and B2 of file linkfile.xls)
2. I used Excel 97 (will try with Excel 2000 a bit later)
3. the Excel files have standard extension .xls
I didn't try the 2nd part as you said, since I think my problem will not be 
related to that. Anyway will try to upload my Excel file and hope that will 
clarify my question. Thanks.

Daniel
