Edit the query and there should be an option for that in the dialog.

An alternative is to just have your refresh command insure a foreground
query.

Activesheet.QueryTables(1).Refresh Backgroundquery:=False

RefreshAll doesn't have that argument.

Tom -

That sound great, how do I set up the query (there is actually only one) to
not run in the background?

why not set up your queries so they don't query in the background -- then you
shouldn't need to worry about it.
