Default Delete a link to a deleted file

Hi all!
I have inadvertantly created a link from the source file
to a destination file that has now been deleted from the
system. How can I trace in which cell/worksheet of the
source file the link has been created so that I can
delete the link. Every time that I open the source file I
get the usual update links message. Very annoying if you
want to distribute the file to users.

Many thanks to you all.

Try using Bill Manville's "FindLink" program works for
difficult as well as simple situations.
Download the addin from Stephen Bullen's MVP page.
http://www.bmsltd.co.uk/MVP/Default.htm.

You'll probably find other things of interest on that page as well.

You might look at John Walkenbach Tip #54 for additional
insight and most common cause.
