The next step in your education is writing macros

Thanks,

I'll give it a try. I'm very familiar with macros, but mainly via
recording
them. I can't write them from scratch, and that's what the suggestion
looked
like.

Thanks again,

Steve

Exactly like a macro.

If you're new to macros:

Debra Dalgleish has some notes how to implement macros he

David McRitchie has an intro to macros:

Ron de Bruin's intro to macros:

(General, Regular and Standard modules all describe the same thing.)

Does this go in the Visual basic modules like a macro ?

I copy the data from a sheet I did not create, and apparently it has
numerous
links in it. I have to individually Edit-Links-Break Links many,
many
times.
Is there a way I can do something that will break all the links in
one
shot ?
( I do not want to paste-values to not get the links).

Thanks,

Steve
