refresh Excel report based on Offline-SSAS-Cube (a *.cub-File) not possible

Hi,we can't refresh the Excel-reports based on a *.cub file even if there is a newer .cub-file.Background:We use SQL Server 2008R2 and Excel 2010.We've a SSAS-Database containing some cubes; they work and refresh fine.Now the users want to have an offline Cube.therefore I created a local "*.cub"-File with the help of the "CREATE GLOBAL CUBE" statement.the *.cub file is copied over network to the users, they can open it with Excel and create their reports. Works fine.But the next week, a new .cub file is copied to the users (same location as the old file).If the User opens his report from last week it will not refresh. if the User hits the "refresh" button in Excel, Excel tries to rebuild the .cub-File which takes hours because of lots of data and slow network.if more than one person tries to "refresh" the network is overloaded. that's why I generated the cub-files via "create global Cube" once and distribute it once a week during non office hours.but, as already mentioned, the Excel-Reports based on these distributed .cub-files will not refresh.searched a lot, found the question sometimes, but no answer for it.Could someone please help me?Regards Andy
