Drive letters, links

[Jeff Ericson]

We would like to search a folder full of Excel objects and
indentify any that have a link, or drive letter mapping.
Any concepts?

VERY Nice Dave.
Will this pick up hyperlinks too?

Nope.

But you could loop though each worksheet looking--something like this could be
incorporated.

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim tempWkbk As Workbook
Dim hyperCtr As Long

Set tempWkbk = ActiveWorkbook 'just for testing

hyperCtr = 0
For Each wks In tempWkbk.Worksheets
hyperCtr = wks.Cells.Hyperlinks.Count
Next wks

MsgBox hyperCtr

End Sub

This looks for the hyperlinks added to cells (via insert|hyperlink). It doesn't
look for the worksheet formula =hyperlink() or hyperlinks lurking behind
objects.

 

[Gary Brown]

How about looping around looking for '.xls' the way Bill Manville does?
Sincerely,
Gary Brown

 

[Dave Peterson]

For hyperlinks?

You can hyperlink to web pages or even other files--not necessarily excel
workbooks.
