The following macro allows you to select a folder and extract the link data for all Excel files in that folder.
Code:
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, aLnks
Dim xlWkBk As Workbook, xlWkSht As Worksheet, i As Long, j As Long
Set xlWkSht = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
strFolder = GetFolder
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
j = xlWkSht.UsedRange.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row + 1
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.xls", vbNormal)
While strFile <> ""
If strFolder & "\" & strFile <> ThisWorkbook.FullName Then
Set xlWkBk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToMRU:=False, ReadOnly:=True)
j = j + 1
With xlWkBk
xlWkSht.Cells(j, 1).Value = .FullName
On Error Resume Next
aLnks = .LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)
For i = 1 To UBound(aLnks)
j = j + 1
xlWkSht.Cells(j, 2).Value = aLnks(i)
Next i
aLnks = .LinkSources(xlOLELinks)
For i = 1 To UBound(aLnks)
j = j + 1
xlWkSht.Cells(j, 2).Value = aLnks(i)
Next i
j = j + 1
.Close SaveChanges:=False
End With
End If
strFile = Dir()
Wend
Set xlWkBk = Nothing
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Function GetFolder() As String
Dim oFolder As Object
GetFolder = ""
Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function
You'll probably find it takes only a few minutes to process even a very large folder.
