    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.

    From Excel help:

    Find links in a workbook
    There is no automatic way to find links used in a workbook. However, because links use brackets [ ] to enclose the source workbook name when it is closed, you can search for it. For example =SUM([Budget.xls]Annual!C10:C25).

    Close all workbooks except the one you want to find the links in.
    On the Edit menu, click Find.
    Click Options.
    In the Find what box, enter [.
    In the Within box, click Workbook.
    In the Look In box, click Formulas.
    Click Find All.
    In the box at the bottom, look in the Formula column for formulas that contain [.
    To select the cell with a link, select the row in the box at the bottom.

    Or download Findlink.xla from http://www.oaltd.co.uk/MVP/Default.htm
