SYMPTOMS
When you use the Delete Links Wizard add-in for Microsoft Excel, not all of the links that you request for deletion are necessarily deleted.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur when the Delete Links Wizard encounters a corrupted link.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the workbook in Microsoft Excel 2002, and then click Links on the Edit menu.
 * 2) Select the link or links that you want to delete, click Break Link, and then click Break Links.

NOTE: The Break Link command is not available in Microsoft Excel 2000 or earlier versions. Excel 2000 and Excel 2002 share the same file format.



MORE INFORMATION
The Delete Links Wizard is an add-in file that you can use to delete links to external files in one or more workbooks.
