I've got an Excel 2007 worksheet that I inherited, and each time it opens, I get the dialog box asking if I would like to update values from an outside, linked worksheet. I'm trying to track down if I should be saying yes or no; as I'm not familiar with the linked spreadsheet, nor what types of data it creates, nor if it's even in use and updated regularly.
Is there a way I can get a list of worksheets, paths, and linked cells so I can trace the formulae and see which links can be severed?

Answer
These directions are for Excel 2010 (but if memory serves, Excel 2007 ribbon is the same in this area).
- Go to Data Tab.
- Choose Connections, this will open the Workbook Connections dialog.
- In Workbook Connections dialog box it will list all of your connections.
- Select the Connection in question and then click in the area below to see where it's used.
From there you'll also be able to check properties, add or delete connections. It's a pretty handy place to visit if your worksheet has external data connected.
