Can Breaking Links Corrupt Excel File
I had links to spreadsheet charts in a word doc that were causing huge delays
in opening the word doc so I removed the links just by selecting and deleting them. I later found the Excel workbook to be corrupted and won't open anymore. Could this have caused the problem and does this suggest a workaround to open the Excel file. Thanks. |

Can Breaking Links Corrupt Excel File
Could it have caused the problem - yes, but that's not saying that it
absolutely did cause it. As for a future workaround, look at Tools -- Options -- Edit tab and check the box labeled "Ask to update automatic links". This will then display a message that lets you confirm the update before it's done. I believe this is workbook specific, so you'd have to do this for any workbooks you don't want to update without checking with you first.
