Hello, In a workbook with links to other workbooks, I have selected the
"Don't display alert and update links" option in the EditLinksStartup
Prompt menu. However, when the workbook is opened, the alert appears giving
the user the choices "Update" or "Don't Update" . I want the workbook to
update automatically upon opening. Why isn't the option working as it should?
