Is there some way I can generate a list of all the files that are dependent upon it, so I can work out which bits are currently being used? I have tried using the formula auditor but there are too many columns / rows whith lots of different formula, so it is taking too long.

- I don't want to find the links I need to find other peoples files that have links to this file.

Thanks

Hi,

How big is "Rather large"?? Do you need to clean it up, or is it better to work on cleaning up the whole process??

That said, VBA could be used to perform this task, generating a report that lists all cells in file X that have the dependencies you seek.
