Thread: Cannot find #REF

  1. #1

    Cannot find #REF

    I tried searching for this topic but was not able to find anything. When opening a workbook I am getting a prompt that says:"Cannot find #REF$B$1, which has been assigned to run each time [workbook name] is open.
    I have disabled all the links and have searched all the worksheets for the broken reference but haven't found one. Is there a way to find the broken reference through VBA ?

    Have you checked Names in the workbook?

    Post a workbook with sample data and layout if you want a quicker solution.

    That sounds like a message from some code. Do a searching thorugh the VBA of that workbook for the string 'Cannot find ' say.

    That was it ! It was a name set to automatically open each time the sheet was opened. I deleted and the message went away.
    Thanks so much for your help.
