With office 365 on the horizon, I need to catalogue all of our spreadsheets, and identify links.

I am doing this by creating a workbook object, setting the object to"

Code:
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(path & file)
var_Links = wb.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks) 'set variant = excel links

This works great until I hit a few tools that have Workbook_Open events where the macros start executing.

Is there any way to suppress the events when opening the new workbook?
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Try
Code:
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(path & file)
Application.EnableEvents = True
var_Links = wb.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks) 'set variant = excel links
