719446 2008-11-11 05:56:00 Hi All.
Have a master set of data in a Workbook. Have created graphs from that data and them it to a seperate workbook.
It is still hyperlinked and if I shut down the original workbook it affects the data in the copy.
How do I remove the hyperlinking between these workbooks.
Also how do I remove the links between sheets within the workbook.
Hope this makes sense.

Cheers
Colin

Thanks Speedy
Looks like what I want. Now all I need is to know how to use it.
How do I "run" the commands

719450 2008-11-11 07:23:00 Hi Colin, if your meaning you have data linked and you get a prompt to update the data each time you open the workbook then you can break this link by selecting Edit | Links then choosing the option break link.

If it is actually hyperlinks then I believe code is the way to go. To run the code in the link suggested by Speedy do the following.

1) Select Tools | Macro | Visula Basic Editor
2) Select Insert Module
3) Paste the code in the right hand window (white space). I would suggest copying the code from the last thread in that post.
4) Select File | Close and Return to Microsoft Excel

To run select Tools | Macro | Macros then select the macro and click the run button.

hth,
Graham
