The Link Finder add-in for Microsoft Excel quickly and easily finds hard to find external links to other workbooks. Nothing is more aggravating than having a workbook with links that you can't get rid of.

The Link Finder can even find and modify links in closed workbooks. Many companies use it when they move Excel users from one server to another. The following is the starting dialog and indicates many of the options available to the user.

The drop-down box allows you to select any external linked workbook or to type in all or part of a workbook's name to find related links. If you have links that you can't find, you can find them with the Link Finder. You can also delete them either automatically or on a case-by-case basis.

The Link Finder also creates reports that list the external links in the active workbook and in any closed workbook.
