Links are not updated at startup, regardless of the setting of Application.AskToUpdateLinks.ģ: Don’t display the alert and update links If false, the links are updated.Ģ: Don’t display the alert and don’t update automatic links If true, the user is alerted and can choose whether to update or not.

Use the Name Manager (either Excel’s own or the free third-party JKP Name Manager ) to check all names for links, particularly phantom links which are not used but clutter up the list. If you get a prompt to update links when you open a workbook, but you cannot find any cells containing links, the link is probably in a name. To find where links are used in a workbook, search in formulas for “.xl*!” that is, an Excel file name followed by an exclamation mark.Īs well as intentionally created links you enter in formulas, links can be created by Excel when you copy sheets from one workbook to another, and those sheets contain references to other sheets either obviously in formulas or less obviously in range names. You can link to cell addresses or names obviously named ranges are safer because addresses can be affected by insertions or deletions in the source worksheet. For more information, see the MS article ‘ Create an external reference (link) to a cell range in another workbook’ ='F:\Spreadsheets\Sheet1'!$B$3 ='F:\Spreadsheets\LinkSource.xlsx'!Myrange

There are many options in Excel that control this depending on the kind of link it is.
