i can get it to work when i step through my macro, but not when i run the
whole macro. i've even tried to put a "wait" into the macro, but it waits
with "connecing to data source" in bottom left corner.

What's the VB code you are using and where is it placed?

You can try this macro in your ThisWorkbook object..

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
me.RefreshAll
End Sub

Or you can create a macro named Auto_Open with the following code..

Sub Auto_Open()
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
End Sub

Included wait...

Sub Auto_Open()
newHour = Hour(Now())
newMinute = Minute(Now())
newSecond = Second(Now()) + 10 'waits 10 seconds
waitTime = TimeSerial(newHour, newMinute, newSecond)
Application.Wait waitTime
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
MsgBox "Refreshed!"
End Sub

THX that seems to work.

Make sure all your queries are configured to NOT do background queries. Then
the code should wait for the query to finish before proceeding.
