Notice in the code below, I am setting DisplayAlerts = False; however, on
opening the file (from Access) I still get a message that warns of extranal
links and asks if I want to update them? I don't, and I don't want my users
do so or it will corrupt data. I have not found a definitive discussion of
which alerts are not displayed and which are. Perhaps there is another way
to handle this. Assistance will be appreciated.

Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
xlApp.DisplayAlerts = False
xlApp.Interactive = False
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(varGetFileName)
(message occurs upon execution of the above line)
