Disable find files error message for missing links on opening WB
 

I have excel workbooks comming every day from different showrooms that
are downloaded in a common folder.

in the same folder i have report sheet which has links of the above
Workbooks, whenever I open the report workbook it first asks me to
update links then, then if I press yes then it shows files not found
error (for the workbooks not received and downloaded by me) in this
case i have to press ESC button.

can anyone give a solution how to disable file not found error at the
update of the workbook so that it updates only that files that are
available in the folder and ignores the files that are not available.

Thanks in Advance
RAZA

Whenever you post a question you should always reveal the version of Excel
you're using.

If you have Excel 2002 or 2003 you can use the Edit, Links, Startup Prompt
feature to control link behavior. There is nothing equivalent in earlier
versions although using a macro (Workbooks.Open) can give you some control
over whether links are updated or not (silently).

thanks Jim

I am using excel 2000, I do think using workbook.open can solve my
problem but don't know what codes would be required.

I don't think it can do what you want. You want all the links that are
available to be silently updated, with no error message if links are
missing. All you can do with a macro is control whether links are updated
or not.

This updates links:

Workbooks.Open "C:\file.xls", True

and this doesn't:

Workbooks.Open "C:\file.xls", False

But if you choose the first and a link is missing, Excel will alert you.
Sorry.
