(using Excel2003 and XP)
i have a wkbookA that has formulas in it linked to cells in wkbookB and wkbookC when book A is opened the warning about "Do you want to update links blah blah...." appears even though I have gone into EditLinks and on 2003 there is an option to automatically update links and do not warn user, which I have checked, I've checked this box for all links but still when the user opens the book the message appears. would the problem be that i have an autoopen routine in the workbook? any help greatly appreciated jason |

There's another setting that you should toggle:
Tools|Options|edit tab|uncheck "Ask to update automatic links" If you're sharing the workbook with others and expect the same behavior, you'll want to know that this is a user-by-user setting. Each user would have to toggle this off. And it affects all workbooks opened by the user, too.

Dave,
That worked fine. Also with 2003 I get an annoying little window opening up on start-up called "Getting Started" : couldn't see any setting in ToolsOptions for this one -any ideas? Thanks again J |

Tools|Options|view tab|uncheck startup task pane
Is where I'd start. WhytheQ wrote: Dave, That worked fine. Also with 2003 I get an annoying little window opening up on start-up called "Getting Started" : couldn't see any setting in ToolsOptions for this one -any ideas? Thanks again J -- Dave Peterson |
