How to answer a ? in VBA

Posted by Marcie on August 17, 2001 8:06 AM

I currently have an automated process running that updates multiple workbooks (VBA Code) with the data from a master workbook. My user has made a change and now one of the workbooks to be updated comes up with a question (on open) "the workbook you opened contains automatic links to info in other workbooks..." Then it has a Yes or No prompt. Is there any way to handl this in the VBA code? I want to automatically answer "NO" to the question and not have my automated program stop when it comes to this workbook as it does now.
Thanks!!!

have you tried...?

application.displayalerts = false

before the code that opens the book causing the update links dialog box?

Re: have you tried...?

Well... I found something similar. I found the code: application.AskToUpdateLinks=False, but this will only get rid of the message. I guess what I'm looking for is a way to answer "YES", rather than get rid of the question alltogether.

Excusame but I don´t speak English very good.

You can try open file with "UpdateLinks:=0"

Sample:

Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\TABLAS.XLS", UpdateLinks:=0
