Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
There is something conceptually wrong with your code: when you execute UserForm3.Show the control pass to the userform and the rest of the macro will not execute until you close the form.
You could open the form using vbModeless, but this changes the way the form and the rest of your work area interact.
VBA Code:
UserForm1.Show vbModeless
Using vbModeless the macro will continue after the userform opens, but I ignore what the commands EXMaterialsInput, EXMaterialDistribution and similar do, so I cannot foresee the overall result.

Most likely the error is in the Userform_Initialize or Userform_Activate events in the form. In the VB Editor, change your error handling options (Tools - Options - General tab) to 'Break in class module' then try the code again and it should highlight the actual offending line of code.
