Whenever I link an excel file to my publisher file, the link always goes to <br />
the unc path of the excel file, instead of the drive letter. <br />
Due to planned moves and renames of our file servers, we would like to have <br />

In excel en word, this behaves properly, if I link a file on a mapped <br />

Any ideas of how I can tell publisher to stop converting to UNC paths?
