I am working on a report that requires data from several queries in an associated Access database. I have no trouble importing the external data and am very happy with the results. The problem lies in the fact that I can't remove the links to the external data. I am still in the process of formatting the report and find the need to remove an import query link from one sheet to another or just move it to a different place on the same sheet but cannot seem to get rid of it. I have tried 'Clear Contents', deleting rows and shifting up empty ones, pasting on top of it. Nothing seems to work. I hope that I am just overlooking something simple. Can anyone help?

Hi Donna

Go Insert>Names>Define (or Name Manager in xl2007) and remove the name that will look something like "External Data Query1".
