Default disabling linked object before you open a file

I have a small excel file created by people in a remote location that takes
forever (more than 10 minutes) to open. the file is less than 2 mb. similarly
print previews take FOREVER
I am guessing its looking up, or trying to look up something on the far end
of our very slow VPN. how do I prevent this updating before I attempt to open
the file? while waiting for the file to open the CPU utilization maxes out
and stays there which frustrates multitasking.
thanks in advance
