automatic links to other workbooks
 

When I receive a excel workbook made by someone else and go to open it, a
yellow box appears that reads" There are automatic links to another workbook.
"Do you want to update this workbook with changes made to other work book?"
one then clicks "yes" or "no"
These are very big workbooks and I want to be able to find what cells have
the formula to look up inofrmation form another file. Although I can click
and read every cell that contains information (1000's of them) there must be
a much easier way. Any suggestions?
Thanks

When I can't find links, I'll use Bill Manville's FindLink program:
