That sounds workable but it leads to a follow-up question:

Where in the object model would I start looking for a handle on the query?
So far, I haven't located a way to get at them in code. I have a couple of
books here but so far haven't found references to queries.

How about this approach?

Turn off the automatic data refresh.

Then, the auto_open (or Workbook_Open) code can refresh each of the
PivotCaches and QueryTables. This way you know when the last refresh
completes!

In article , says...
We have a workbook with queries bound to a few of the sheets. Once the
queries have automatically refreshed, I'd like a macro to run.
AUTO_OPEN
macros appear to run before the data is refreshed. Any thoughts on how
to
accomplish this?

I thought I might have the AUTO_OPEN macro check to see if the queries
were
done and remain in a wait loop until the queries finished but I can't
find
the dbengine in the object model and I'm not sure if it supports a
"busy"
status, anyway. I thought I might just probe a known cell to see if the
queries were complete but that seems like an awfully awkward way to do
this.

So, I'm looking for ideas. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
