Hi,

I have several Excel workbooks, and they do have external links which are no longer exist or valid. I tried sevral times to break these links to have Link-free workbooks. Yet all my tries were unsuccessful. Searched the interet for possible solutions, tried them all, still these are not removed. Even I tried an offerred solution by someone, to rename the extention to .ZIP and then delete the file named "ExternalLinks"; then change back the file extntion to .ZIP. But still are there.

Very frustred.

Would any anyone please provide a solution to this?
