Heavily linked spreadsheet freezes with "calculating cells 0%" - .

I have a spreadsheet with mulitple links to other spreadsheets. I have
identified that the link to one particular spreadsheet causes the file to
lock up with the message in the progress bar: calculating cells 0%. How do I
effectively troubleshoot the multiple links to that spreadsheet to determine
the problem link(s)?

I think I would just make a copy of the file, and then delete half of the
potentially bad links. then if that solved the problem, you know it was one
of the ones you deleted that was bad, if not, it was one of the ones you did
not delete.........keep doing that, half of whats left, etc until you
isolate it down to the bad link...........or, if you prefer, just eliminate
them all, and just add them back one at a time until it breaks.............
