Why did joins disappear on only one workstation?

Hey everyone,

I work in an office where we create plates in GIS with all of the databases/mxds located on a shared server.

We have 4 computers that all run GIS and rotate through the workstations based on availability.

Yesterday, 2 of the 4 workstations had Microsoft Office (and therefore Excel) updated from Office 2010 to the latest Office 365.

After updating (which may or may not be related), my coworker opened an mxd that used a variety of joins to display data and all of the joins were missing.  To her horror, she opened other mxds within the same project and the joins were now missing from all of her plates -- work that would take days to fix.

However, we've experimented a bit further and all 3 of the other workstations (including the other workstation that had Excel updated) can open the mxds successfully, with the joins still intact.

Why would joins have suddenly gone missing from only one workstation?  And what can we do to fix it??

Thanks!
