VBA in PowerPoint to close popup window

[spocker87]

Hello,

I can't figure out how to auto close a 'Open File' location. As of right now, I need to press "cancel" a bunch of times as the powerpoint runs its link updates.

Sub UpdateChartData()

    
    Dim pptChart As Chart
    Dim pptChartData As ChartData
    Dim pptWorkbook As Object
    Dim sld As Slide
    Dim shp As Shape

    For Each sld In ActivePresentation.Slides
        For Each shp In sld.Shapes
            If shp.HasChart Then
                Set pptChart = shp.Chart
                Set pptChartData = pptChart.ChartData
                
                pptChartData.Activate
                Set pptWorkbook = pptChartData.Workbook
                On Error Resume Next
                'update first link
                pptWorkbook.UpdateLink pptWorkbook.LinkSources(1)
                On Error GoTo 0
                pptWorkbook.Close True
                
                
            End If
          
        Next
    Next

    Set pptWorkbook = Nothing
    Set pptChartData = Nothing
    Set pptChart = Nothing
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Try adding

 Application.DisplayAlerts = False

before the outer FOR loop.

So i tried that and no luck it keeps asking me to open file location.
