Hi,
This is probably simple but is there any way to automatically update all links on opening a workbook, Without having to click a button saying automatically update links yes/no...? |

Update links automatically
Note that Dan's advice re Tools / Options / Edit / Ask to update
automatic links applies to ALL workbooks you open. If there are some where the time to update links would be excessive you might regret making that change. An alternative is to have another workbook open the real one by using a macro: Sub Auto_OPen() Application.OnTime Now, "Continue_Open" End Sub Sub Continue_Open() Workbooks.Open ThisWOrkbook.Path & "\RealBook.xls", UpdateLinks:=3 ActiveWorkbook.RunAutoMacros xlAutoOpen ' if RealBook has an Auto_Open ThisWorkbook.Close False End Sub Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - respond to newsgroup |
