I have a refreshable Excel file that is linked to data imported from Access.

When I open the file using a Macro button with a Workbooks.Open sub, I get
an Update Links popup.

But, when I open the file directly from the network folder or shortcut, I
don't get the Update Links popup.

I have a temporary workaround with an UpdateLinks:=False. But I would like
to resolve the issue without a bandaid.

Sub OpenCat()
Workbooks.Open "\\Network_Path\Category_template.xlsx", UpdateLinks:=False
'UpdateLinks:=False cmd is like clicking CONTINUE to leave links as
is.
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Category.xlsx"
'This saves a temp file on end-users PC, leaving original template
as is.
End Sub
