How may I remove the links in a workbook? The problem
Microsoft also has an Excel Add-In called dellink.xla that identifies the links in the spreadsheet. You can search their website for the download.
One other trick - check the 'Name' fields box for extraneous named fields (and links) which are no longer relevant to the spreadsheet. The dellink.xla add-in will identify this as a source of the problem, but won't be able to remove it.
Hope this helps.
