Can Not Break a Link
 
Hi Everyone, and yet another problem. I had a link on one sheet with
another. I removed the sheet that the first sheet was linked to and when I
open the first sheet I keep getting an alert that links can not be updated.
I am trying to break the link but it will not break. Can you please tell me
how to break this link.

Thanks in advance

Albert

Click EDIT in the menu and select LINKS. In the LINKS dialog box select each
link and click the BREAK LINK command button. You'll get a warning that all
linked formulas will be converted to their current values, just click OK.

Repeat until all links are removed.

Thank You for answering Kevin. This is exactly what I have been doing but it
does not work. In the "Edit Links" the status is 'Source not found'. Does
this make any difference?

Thank You
Albert

I would use Bill Manville's FindLink program:
