From what I've experienced it doesn't mess anything up, you just have to resave your local files again from the Central file.
Thanks 98. Atleast I don't have to hunt my Xrefs now..
If you just use Save As you only end up with another Local File. You must use Save As AND click the Options button and check the box next to "Make this the Central location after Save".
