Default ChangeLinks fails if formulae exceed 1024 character limit

Hi all

I have written some code that loops through the links in a workbook and
updates them to different paths. To be more specific, it updates the
paths from drive letters to UNC paths.

Generally, this works, but fails where the new path forces formulae in
the workbook to exceed Excel's 1024 character limit. Interestingly,
the link update fails, but it raises no error, so there's not an
automatic means of determining that one or more links has failed to
update.

I would like to know after the code has completed whether any updates
have failed. Does anyone have a fix or workaround for this?

Thanks in advance
