In Excel, you can insert in a spreadsheet the result of a request on external
data (xls files, Access db...). Such requests can't be updated anymore if you
open the file within Calc.

I created two documents:

- source: it contains the data.
- request: is the result of the request on the source file.

To reproduce the issue:

- try to open the request file.
- It asks if you want to update the data
- if you answer "yes", even if everything is correct, OOo answers it can't
update the data.

Thus, this is a compatibility issue...


To create the source file:

- open an empty sheet in Excel
- write some data
- select the data
- give a name to that data

To create the request file:

- open an empty sheet in Excel
- Tools > external data > create a request...
- select "Excel file"
- select the file
- follow the wizard to define the data you want
- and that's it
