Incoming file links
 
I'm pretty sure the answer is "no" but I wanted to make sure. I can see
outgoing links with Edit-Links. Is there any way to find incoming links?

You mean you want to find all the other workbooks that retrieve values from this
workbook?

If yes, then you'll have to open all your other workbooks and look at Edit|links
to see.

That's what I thought. The act of linking is one way and leaves no mark on
the other file.

Thanks

Exactly.

And if your files are shared with others, you really never know what happened to
them after you let them go.

I could have lots and lots of files that link back to your original file. You
may not know about any of them!
