Default Do not Update On Open

I have a Linked worksheet that I am saving as a new Workbook. When I
open the new Workbook it ask me if I want to update the workbook. Can
i automatically say "No".

I looked in the help file but I am still confused.


Thanks,
Brian

Brian,

Yes, you can make this work.
Save it as a new workbook but keep it open.

Then do
Edit
Links
Startup Prompt
Don't display the alert and don't update the links

Then save it again
close
reopen
hey presto

The Manual option is not highlighted.

Can I use a wookbook event(open, activate) to say no to the prompt.
