Thanks Jim...you pointed me in the right direction. I had moved the file to
a flash drive off the ops computer and was working at home off that flash
drive ("E"). My macro defined "Name" as being on "C" drive.....duhh...feel
sort of dumb now, going to go to my corner and pout....lol But the good news
is "problem solved"...:)

Thanks again and have a great weekend,

Don

I haven't used the BreakLink method.
However, reviewing BreakLink in the help file reveals that "Name" should
refer to the name of the link. Also, the LinkSources method for a workbook
returns an array of all of the link names in the workbook...
