Change Link in batch of workbooks
Hi everyone,
I posted last week and Ron de Bruin pointed me to his website for code that looped thru files in a folder which was just what I needed. I've just come back to this bit of work now and realised that the original code allows you to select the source of the old link and then of the new link. I would like to automate this and the old link will be the same for all 40 or so of the wkbks in the folder. The new link will be the active workbook. ActiveWorkbook.ChangeLink Name:="C:\testing\Source.xls", _ newname:=strnewlink, _ Type:=xlLinkTypeExcelLinks How do I write it so that newname is the active workbook each time? Many thanks -- Trish |

Change Link in batch of workbooks
Hi Roger,
Thanks for the reply. Does it matter where in the code I place the set statement. Should I put it in with the change link block or should I put it with all the declarations at the top? Thanks again -- Trish (looking foolish but learning!) "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi Trish Maybe Set strelink = ActiveWorkbook.name -- Regards Roger Govier "Trish Smith" wrote in message ...

Hi Roger,
I tried putting the set statement directly after the declarationas and got a compile error - object required Any idea what I've doen wrong? -- Trish "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi Trish Maybe Set strelink = ActiveWorkbook.name -- Regards Roger Govier "Trish Smith" wrote in message ...

Change Link in batch of workbooks
Hi Ron,
Yes. What I've got are about 40 workbooks each with between 7 and 11 sheets. I have data coming as single sheet workbboks which I collate using some of your code. Then to save on time I've got a template with macros to add the analysis sheets to each of the workbooks. The analysis sheets of the workbooks have lookup formulas relating back to the original template. So then the idea is that I change the link source from template to each of the workbooks so it looks up its own data. Hope that makes sense :-) Cheers -- Trish "Ron de Bruin" wrote: Hi Trish Do you want to remove the links so they point to the cells in the same workbook -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Trish Smith" wrote in message ...

Hi Ron,
Thank you so much! :-) I feel VERY ungrateful asking but, once the code has looped through all files the error message shows up - I can definitely live with this but it would be good to see how you would amend code to avoid this.
