Unlinking workbooks
I have Excel 2000 on Win XP.
When I try to open a file a message says I have links to another workbook and do I want to update the info or just carry on. I want to break this link .. How do I do this? Incidentally, one link is to a file which I have deleted and I get a message saying that Excel - unsurprisingly - cannot find the file. I don't care, I just want it to stop looking. Rob Graham |

You must find cells which have references to another workbooks and then change/delete the links. Very helpful at searching is key combination Ctrl+` which shows formulas in worksheet. -- ============================== Janusz Pawlinka |

On my keyboard it is the key on the left of "1" key and above "TAB" key. -- ============================== Janusz Pawlinka |

Unlinking workbooks
ctrl-backquote
It's on the same key (on my USA keyboard) that the tilde (~) is on. You could also use: tools|Options|view tab|check formulas (xl2003 menus) Rob graham wrote: You must find cells which have references to another workbooks and then change/delete the links.
