SUMMARY
When you copy data in Microsoft Excel version 2.20 and then choose Paste Link from the Edit menu to link that data to another worksheet, the error message &quot;Unable to Paste Link&quot; will be displayed if any folder or disk name in the pathname of that link has an apostrophe.

For example, if the hard drive is named &quot;John's Hard Drive&quot; or a folder is named &quot;Microsoft's Applications,&quot; this error message will be displayed.

To work around this problem, either manually type the formula to link the two worksheets or rename the folder or disk to a name without an apostrophe.
