That is a good one. I am not 100% sure. I am a little busy today but I will
see if I can find something...

Gary:

I currently use code that loops through the entire workbook and deletes
the external data source definitions, yet leaves the data it grabbed
like this:

Sub FreezeData()
Dim MyQT, qt As QueryTable
Dim i As Integer
For Each Sheet In Sheets
i = Sheet.Index
For Each qt In Worksheets(i).QueryTables
Set MyQT = qt
MyQT.Delete
Next
Next
End Sub

HTH,
Jana

thanks, jana

You're quite welcome, Gary. Let me know if that works for you.

Jana

jana's code is error prone...

To delete members of a collection:
NEVER iterate a collection by object
ALWAYS enumerate by numerical index from Highest to Lowest
THEN delete.

Thanks,
I never knew that could cause a problem...I am still pretty new at
coding in excel. How would you recommend the code be altered?
Jana

Sub FreezeData()
Dim MyQT As QueryTable
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
For Each Sheet In Sheets
i = Sheet.Index
For j = Worksheets(i).QueryTables.Count To 1 Step -1
Set MyQT = Worksheets(i).QueryTables(j)
MyQT.Delete
Next
Next
End Sub

Thanks very much! I will implement the changes you've made.

Appreciate the clarification

It is an ODBC query, is it?
