Automatic Refresh Question
 

I have a pivot table that pulls from an outside data source, when you
open up the file it always asks you if you want to "ENABLE AUTOMATIC
REFRESH". Is there any way to code this so it will automatically
refresh without asking the user? Maybe by setting up an on open macro
that would select the option to refresh for the user.

Thanks,
Steve

Sub Workbooks_Open
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("YourPivotTableName").Pivo tCache.Refresh
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Or, change ActiveSheet to Sheets("YourPivotTableSheet")

Regards,

Alan

The 'enable automatic refresh' message can supressed by making registry
changes.

Suppressing the notification for this sheet would work best...

Thanks to you both for your help. This was exactly what I needed.
