I was very careful not to embed external paths in a spreadsheet, but then I
noticed that afterwards, the entire path is now hard-coded in my formulae. Is there an easy way to change formulae that have f:\mysub\mysub2\[myWB.xls] in all formulae? What I would really like to do is have the formulae not refer to a path at all. |

On the Worksheet Edit Menu - Replace
put the path in the from box and leave the to box empty. Then replace all.

You could use Edit|Replace and replace.
You could use Edit|Links and change the source to the same workbook. If you're having trouble finding that link, get Bill Manville's FindLink program: http://www.oaltd.co.uk/MVP/Default.htm I bet you're copying formulas from a cell in different workbook. If you're doing just a single formula, copy from the formulabar and paste into the formula bar. If you're doing lots, I like this: You could select the range to copy change all the formulas to strings edit|replace what: = with: $$$$$= replace all Copy and paste to the new workbook and change all the strings back to formulas (in both worksheets!) edit|replace what: $$$$$= with: = replace all Mike H. wrote: I was very careful not to embed external paths in a spreadsheet, but then I noticed that afterwards, the entire path is now hard-coded in my formulae.
