When the user opens a file containing manual or automatic links, the client application displays a message dialog to ask the user whether to update the links (see Figure 26). If the user presses the Yes button, the client application updates all of the links. Automatic links are not updated unless the server application is open and the source of the link is loaded.
Figure 26. Link Update message dialog box
The progress indicator shown in Figure 27 may be displayed while the links are being updated. The Cancel button interrupts the update process and cancels all updating that has already been carried out.
Figure 27. Progress indicator for updating links
If some of the linked files are unavailable, the client application displays the warning dialog shown in Figure 28. This dialog contains two buttons, OK and Links. The OK button closes the dialog without updating the links. The Links button displays the Links dialog (see Figure 22) with all the links listed. Unavailable linked files are marked with the word "Unavailable" in the fourth column of the list. The user can attempt to locate the unavailable files by using the Change Link dialog (see Figure 24), which is available from the Change Link command button in the Links dialog.
