| Subject: Excel 2007 and external data connections 10/28/2014, 23:14 | |
| I am just playing around trying to figure out how some things work. I have changed my own FoxPro check system to "export" some data into excel, then pull into a pivot table. I can then use that as a report, which is easier for some things, than reporting in reporting in Fox Pro. I started playing around with trying to do something similar with out using a pivot table. I found how to create an external connection to my FoxPro free table, and set up an Excel spread sheet that would pull in that data by the external connection. I still have a lot to learn about it, but did manage to get it to work.
If I open a blank spread sheet and click on Existing Connections, it will show me a list of connections that have been set up. I set up some while trying to figure out how it works -so I have several things showing. What I am wondering if there is a way to find out where each connections is used, that is , what workbook it is used in. I think most of them are just junk from when I was playing around. Or is there a way of finding which workbooks use an external connection? If so then I could check that workbook to see what connection it uses.
From what I have read, the way external connections are handled may have changed in EXCEL 2007.
If you can not answer pretty easily that is ok. Just thought I would check in case you could Hope my question makes sense.
Thanks
Fay

| Fay, I googled the following: "finding which excel workbooks use an external connection" and a lot of links came up. Maybe one of them has the information you are looking for. | |

| Repa. Yeah. I did quite a bit of googling but encountered the same things. Nothing I found was what I was looking for. To me it does not seem such a strange thing to want to do, but maybe it is. Thanks for trying to help. Fay | |
