BTW I used a book that only has about 100 links this last time.
All my workbooks has spaces in the name I wonder if that could be the
problem. But it was listing sheets so maybe not.

Had to remove the second , after myStr.
myStr shows correct but the myC and myS show nothing in the watch,
however the myS shows sheets as type and I can see it listing the sheets
as worksheet/sheet1, sheet2 and so on.

Ed,

It may be one of your search settings is interfering. Try changing to

Set myC = myS.Cells.Find(myStr, , xlFormulas, xlPart)

Set myC = myS.Cells.Find(What:=myStr, , LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

I changed the strung to "July 2009"
It was the only workbook open.

Ed,

It worked perfectly for me.
Is the workbook with the links the active workbook at the time that
you are running the macro?
Are you sure that the filename includes the exact string "09-2009" and
not some variant on that, like "09- 2009"?

Nothing at all happens.
I added a watch for myStr and no values shows.
Ran it in a workbook that has about 500 links.

Ed,

Try the macro below.

Sub CutLinks()
Dim myStr As String
Dim myS As Worksheet
Dim myC As Range

myStr = "09-2009"

For Each myS In Worksheets
FindAgain:
Set myC = myS.Cells.Find(myStr, , xlFormulas, xlPart)
If Not myC Is Nothing Then
myC.Value = myC.Value
GoTo FindAgain
End If
Next myS

End Sub

I have several workbooks with as many as 35 - 40 worksheets.
Each workbook (And as many as 20 sheets from each workbook) Calls
cells from the previous months workbooks.
I would like to Copy Paste Values using as an example any cell in
the workbook that has 09-2009 in the Formula. The file name may be
Sales -9-2009 or Loja 09-2009 and there are several others, However
the 09-2009 is in the filename for each workbook.
If I can do this I would be able to move or remove the older files
from their default directory.
