Shade cells with links to external workbooks

Hello. I am trying to write code that will scan every sheet within a
workbook and shade each cell that has a link to an external file (ie .xls)?
I am only concerned about cells, not named ranges, pictures, etc...

Thanks!

ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
for each cell in Activesheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlFormulas)
if instr(1,cell.Formula,"[",vbTextcompare) Then
cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
end if
Next

Regards,
Tom Ogilvy
