Drop the .asktoupdatelinks.

And change your code in your utility to open the file without updating links.

You'll see an option on the workbooks.open statement that can be used to specify
how links should be treated. See VBA's help for all the options.

Hi all

I have created an Excel utility that works on the other open workbooks.
When other workbooks are opened, I want to suppress the Update Links
dialog (using Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False) but I also DON'T
want the links to be updated. Users will be on Excel 97. Any
suggestions as to a VBA solution that I can put in the utility which
will be open first?

Thanks in advance
