Finding Links in Excel

Running Excel 2000.

I have one workbook that whenever I open it, it informs me that "The workbook contains automatic links to info in another workbook".

And of course gives me the option to update or keep existing info.

I have searched through the worksheets and cannot find anything linked to another workbook.

How can I find what these links are so that I might sever them?

I'm not sure that it is this way in Excel 2000, but here is how to look at them on Excel 2003.

 

With the workbook open, go to Edit > links.

 

There you can view what it is linked to and break the link if you want to.

 

 

Edit:  I can across this link that you may want to check out.

To change the link source, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Edit, Links command.

  2. In the Links dialog box, select the source workbook that you want to change.

  3. Click the Change Source button.

  4. In the Change Links dialog box, select a new source file and then click OK.

After you select the file, all external reference formulas are updated.

BayWolf: Well that alone did not 'fix' what I wanted to do, cut the cord to the other worksheet, it did get me on the right path. It gave me the Source name.

A global search revealed the link in a formula that was in a hidden row!
