Thanks Paul and Adrian,

Unfortunately, I now know that I didn't make clear what I want to do. I
want to keep the links, but I don't want to update the links unless the
source documents are open. So if I open my document with links (and no
other docs are open) , I get that message box, "Do you wish to update
links?". In this situation I will always say no, although I will want
to update the links later. Can I stop that message box from appearing?

Thanks again for any advice

Best wishes
free
