Default Listing all external links within a file

Dear Gurus,

Windows 2K, Excel 2K.

Before anyone mentions them... Bill Manville's Link Finder and
Navigator Utilities are both great and really useful tools, but not
for what I need for this little project.

So on to the query. Hopefully quite simple, but maybe not.

I need to produce a list showing all external links in a workbook,
something along the lines of:

Sheet Name Address Links to
Sheet1 $A$1 Test.xls
Sheet1 $A$2 Test2.xls
Sheet2 $A$3 Test3.xls

....but I can't find an appropriate property at the range object level.
Something useful like Activecell.HasExternalLinksToAnotherWorkbook
and Activecell.TheNameOfTheExternallyLinkedWorkbook doesn't seem to be
forthcoming. And I'd rather not use methods that involve searching
for characters like [, ], !, \, .xls, etc as Excel is not that hard to
trick and you end up with additional reported links where none exist.

Seeing Linkfinder and Navigator Utilities in action proves that it can
be done, I just haven't been able to work out how. Any new ideas on
this one would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Clayton.
