    correcting "Linked" formulas after copying sheets to another workbook

    I have a macro that copies 3 sheets from Book1 to Book2
    Sheet 3 has formulas linking to Sheet1

    In the newly copied Book2 Sheet3 the formulas maintain the link to Book1
    I need to redirect them to the new Book2 in which they reside.

    So I recorded a macro replacing the Book1 name in the formula with nothing
    When I record it, it is successful, but when it is rerun it does nothing to the formulas.

    How can I correct the formulas from a linked workbook to look to a worksheet it’s own workbook?

    will only perform the find and replace on the selected cells. In order to carry out the find and replace on all cells in the sheet, try

    This works for me.

    Are the worksheet and workbook specified in the code?
    If not, is the macro being run from the workbook you want it to operate on?

    I'm using XL2000 now but it failed to replace at home last night in XL2007 also.

    I believe they are specified.
    It was NOT in the workbook it was being performed on but I put it there to test and it still failed.

    the entire section of code is
