    XL:Surpressing dialog box

    Hi all!

    I've got a workbook that may contain links to another workbook. As you all
    know, this will cause XL to ask the user if he/she wants to update values
    from that workbook when the first one is opened. In my setup, I never want
    to see this dialog. I've got VBA-code that will connect to the other
    workbook, and I never want XL to update with data from the other workbook.

    Any ideas?

    TIA
    /Martin

    Martin,

    Two possibilities:

    Workbook.Open has a parameter that allows you to open a workbook without
    updating links.
    Application.DisplayAlerts=False will turn off these message boxes.

    Both are well documented in XL's Help.
