Default Need help with data links that seemingly cannot be broken

I'm using Excel 2010



The attached spreadsheet contains a data link that no longer exists (the file has been overwritten). However, when I go to Edit Links (in the Data tab), I am unable to break the data link.

There is VBA macro code, but I have looked and there doesn't appear to be any reference to the old spreadsheet. Any ideas on what is causing this, and how to fix it?

Thanks!
Doug

Hi Doug,
Usually, the links can be found not only in cells formulas. You should always check in the list of defined names, at list that's what i did.
There is a name: Analysis, which refers to: ='C:\Doug D\TPU Excel Forms\HRMP\[HRMP Questionnaire SmartForm.Macro.xlsm]Validations'!$F$2:$F$6
If the list in this workbook, remove the external link: Validations'!$F$2:$F$6
Also, links can "hide" in hyperlinks associated with shapes.
Cheers,
Catalin
