Hi all,

I'm by no means a VBA expert, in fact I'd say my knowledge is pretty limited, but I have the following code that worked great (Broke links) when working within folders, since I'm now using Sharepoint the Macro can't seem to see and files within Sharepoint. How can this be amended to find the list of files within Sharepoint so I can break the links?

I'd really appreciate any help with this. Is it a simple fix, or is it not even possible?

VBA Code:
Public Sub BreakLinks()
  Dim vntLinkSources As Variant
  Dim vntLinkSource As Variant
  Dim strDirectory As String
  Dim strFileName As String
  Dim wbkFile As Workbook
  Dim lngCounter As Long
 
  Dim ParentFolder As Object, ChildFolder As Object
 
  On Error GoTo ErrHandler
  With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    .ButtonName = "Break Links"
    .Title = "Select folder to break links"
    If .Show Then
      strDirectory = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
    Else
      GoTo ExitProc
    End If
  End With
 
  '**************************** New code ***
     Process_Workbooks_In_Folder (strDirectory)
  '*** New code ***
 
 
 
   MsgBox lngCounter & " link(s) were broken.", vbInformation
 MsgBox ("Process Completed")
 
ExitProc:
  On Error Resume Next
  wbkFile.Close False
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  Application.DisplayAlerts = True
  Set wbkFile = Nothing
  Exit Sub
 
ErrHandler:
  'MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation
  Resume ExitProc

End Sub


Private Sub Process_Workbooks_In_Folder(folderPath As String)
  
    Static FSO As Object
    Dim Folder As Object, Subfolder As Object, File As Object
   
    If FSO Is Nothing Then Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    'Process files in this folder
   
    Set Folder = FSO.GetFolder(folderPath)
   
    For Each File In Folder.Files
        If File.Name Like "*.x*" Then
      '  MsgBox (File.Path)
            BreakTheLinks File.Path
        End If
    Next
   
    'Process files in subfolders
   
    For Each Subfolder In Folder.SubFolders
        Process_Workbooks_In_Folder Subfolder.Path
    Next

End Sub

Private Sub BreakTheLinks(workbookFilepath As String)
Dim strJustPath As String
Dim IntDifference As Integer


       'MsgBox (workbookFilepath)
   Application.DisplayAlerts = False
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  strFileName = Dir(workbookFilepath)
  Do Until Len(strFileName) = 0

         IntDifference = Len(strFileName)
         strJustPath = Left(workbookFilepath, Len(workbookFilepath) - IntDifference)
         'MsgBox (strJustPath)
    Set wbkFile = Workbooks.Open(strJustPath & strFileName, False)
    vntLinkSources = wbkFile.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)
  
    If Not IsEmpty(vntLinkSources) Then
      For Each vntLinkSource In vntLinkSources
        wbkFile.BreakLink vntLinkSource, xlLinkTypeExcelLinks
        lngCounter = lngCounter + 1
      Next vntLinkSource
    End If
  
    wbkFile.Close True
    strFileName = Dir()
  Loop
 
  Application.DisplayAlerts = True
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  

End Sub
