Default How to Prevent Web Connections from Excel?

Hi

Cancel the display of a Web page or hyperlink


If the Web toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to
carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize on the Tools menu,
and then click the Toolbars tab.) is not displayed, point to Toolbars on the
View menu, and then click Web.
On the Web toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to
carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize on the Tools menu,
and then click the Toolbars tab.), click Stop .

Note The Stop button is only available when you open or go to a file
located on the Web or your company's intranet (intranet: A network within an
organization that uses Internet technologies (such as the HTTP or FTP
protocol). By using hyperlinks, you can explore objects, documents, pages,
and other destinations on the intranet.)€” not when you open or go to a file
on your hard disk or the network.

I have a spreadsheet with some kind of embedded code that is connecting to a
web site. Is there any way to configure Excel 2003 globally to either
forbid network connections from inside Excel, or to at least prompt you
every time such a connection is requested?
