break excel links
 

Hello,

IV been trying to break links in excel workbooks by VBA
But I wanted to know how to break all the links in the workbooks, no
just one single link

ActiveWorkbook.BreakLink Name:= _
"\\excel\Portfolios\sample.xls" _
, Type:=xlExcelLinks

This code breaks single link, but is there a code to break them all.

Thanks in advanc

Hi striker72s

You can run this macro also to make text of all hyperlinks
in your worksheet

Sub test()
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Delete
End Sub

Alt-F11
InsertModule from the menubar
paste the sub in there
Alt-Q to go back to Excel

If you do Alt-F8 you get a list of your macro's
Select "test" and press Run

I stole the code from VBA's help and modified it to go through all the links:

Option Explicit
Sub UseBreakLink2()

Dim astrLinks As Variant
Dim iCtr As Long

astrLinks = ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources(Type:=xlLinkTypeExcelLi nks)

If IsArray(astrLinks) Then
For iCtr = LBound(astrLinks) To UBound(astrLinks)
ActiveWorkbook.BreakLink Name:=astrLinks(iCtr), _
Type:=xlLinkTypeExcelLinks
Next iCtr
End If

End Sub

Ron guessed that you were writing about hyperlinks--not links to other
workbooks.

ps. If you want to see the stuff with the links and decide later to break them
(or not)...

Use Bill Manville's FindLink program:
