How do I break a Link in Excel 2000; I can see how to do it in Excel 2003,
but I am using 2000; can anyone help.

Hi Nevio,

Try the following:
- Ctrl F to find - look for .xls and .csv and manually amend any formulae
that contain references to other sources. Also search for any other file
extensions of files to which you may be linked. If you have a bunch of
linked cells together, select them all, copy and paste as values to remove
the links.

- If you have range names set up, select Insert, Name, Define from the menu
and amend or delete any names that relate to other workbooks.

- If you have charts (and still have links), you will need to check the data
source for each one to see if the chart references another workbook.

Alternatively, if all that seems like hard work, create your own utility to
do it for you:

Hope this helps,

Mark
