The Workbook you opened contains automatic links

I've seen several postings on how to remove the message about the
workbook containing automatic links, but what does this mean?

How do I find where these automatic links are? I just want to remove
the links.

Can someone give me some history on this? What are "links"? How do I
find them? How do I get rid of them?

Thanks.

Links are basically references to other workbooks - various ways of
getting rid of them, but it MAY be worth finding out why they are
present in the first place! However, replace formulas with values, use
the edit menu to get to the links and set the reference to the active
workbook, use the edit menu to FIND and replace the offending links.

When I can't find links, I'll use Bill Manville's FindLink program:

Thanks for your replies!

I found my problem. I went to Insert/Name/Define, and found several
names there with references to URLs. How they got there, I haven't a
clue. But I removed them, and life is good.

Thanks again for your help.
