Hi,
when using Workbook.hasExernalLinks() API, I get false when there is a DDE link in the workbook.
0_dde_xlsx.zip (5.9 KB)

Workbook book;
...
book.hasExernalLinks();  // False
book.getWorksheets().getExternalLinks().getCount();  // Shows there are links
book.removeExternalLinks();  // Removes DDE links

@lirip,

Thanks for the template file and details.

After an initial test, I am able to observe the issue as you mentioned by using the following sample code with your template file. I found Workbook.hasExernalLinks() returns false where as it should return true as there is a DDE link in the spreadsheet:
e.g
Sample code:

Workbook book = new Workbook("f:\\files\\0_dde.xlsx");

        System.out.println(book.hasExernalLinks());  // false
        System.out.println(book.getWorksheets().getExternalLinks().getCount());  // 1
        book.removeExternalLinks();
        System.out.println(book.getWorksheets().getExternalLinks().getCount());// 0
