Disable Update Links Message?
I've created a presentation to be a 'real-time' scoreboard for an upcoming
community event. Two of the presentations have 4 slides, the third has 5 slides. All are on a continuous loop. One laptop is running the Presentation, and the other is for the scorekeeper to track results of the events. I've installed an add-in that does the updating each time the presentation loops. Everything works well, except that each time the links update, I get an obnoxiously intrusive popup asking me if I want to update the links. I'd *really* like to get rid of the messages. It would be a HUGE hassle to keep a person there all day to hit the enter key everytime the slide show loops. I've programmed the Excel sheets with ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLinks = xlUpdateLinksAlways to try to get rid of this. The workbooks are all shared to prevent messages about being locked (and asking if I want to open them as Read-Only - which doesn't seem to update the links). In Excel, I can include a line of VBA code like: Application.DisplayAlerts = False to cut out alert messages, but, it doesn't seem like these are the same kind of alert messages as I've tried adding similar lines of code to the presentation: ActivePresentation.UpdateLinks = True Application.DisplayAlerts = ppAlertsNone but the messages keep popping up in front of the slide being displayed. This also hangs the presentation until I respond to the propmpt. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as there seems to be tremendously less info about PowerPoint VBA than just about any other kind. TIA Bill |
