Bill Manville has written a utility, FindLink, for working with links. You
can get it at http://www.oaltd.co.uk/MVP/Default.htm. That might help.

I think I figured out what the problem is: I made a backup workbook with
my
data and formulas. I had to re-copy stuff from that workbook, so that is
how
the links got created. There were hundreds of them. Now I have to start
from scratch and remove all the stuff.

Hello,

I created a simple workbook that pulls data from a sql server db (using
ADO)
and copies this data to a sheet. Then I have a 2nd sheet - the
presentation
sheet where I have formulas that reference the data sheet. There are no
links in this workbook, but all of a sudden I am getting a message to
update
the links. I vaguely remember something about searching for a bracket [
which indicates a link. How can I clear this - or suppress the link
message?

Thanks.
Rich
