First, did you try Bill Manville's FindLink program? If no, then try that
first.

Second...

I've never created a reference to a file on a web page, so I'm not even sure
it's possible...

But open your workbook
Go into the VBE (Alt-f11 is a quick way)
Make sure your workbook's project is active
Tools|References

Do you see anything that refers to that file on the web page?

As you say, i want to keep my links but remove the webpage link. When i try
to open the link i get the message:

Unable to open http://www.devon.gov.uk/dcs/ict/spreds/weather4.xls.

I have looked at the code and there only seems to be code that i have
written.

When i open the workbook with Macros disabled i still get the web link issue.

If yes, what does the link to the web page do?

Does it open a browser (MSIE or Firefox or ...) and go to the site?

If yes, then I bet you have a macro (workbook_open or auto_open) that's
following a hyperlink. You could test this by closing this file and re-opening
the workbook with macros disabled.

If that's not it, then maybe Bill Manville's FindLink program will help:

(could it be some query that's trying to retrieve data???)

Running Excel 2003. I have developed a workbook based on a previous workbook.
My workbook has a link to another sheet. When i open the workbook it also
tries to link to a webpage that doesn't exist. However the web page doesn't
show as a link when i use edit<links. How can i remove this non existent
link?
