Thread: How to remove a query prompt in Excel 2003

We have a merge file set up in Word 2000 that merges with an Excel file which
imports its data from a text file and gets "refreshed" with each use.

These files are used by a number of individuals, but one of the users
recently upgraded to Office 2003 and is now getting a prompt whenever he uses
the merge file(s) stating there is an "SLQ query attached to this
file....should it be activated.." and "Do you want to refresh data?"

My coworker does NOT want to have to answer these (and other) prompts when
entering a file, but I can't figure out how to remove them.

Can someone tell me where this option is located so it can be "turned off"?

Thanks!

I am having the same problem.Though I get it when opening a file in Excel,
anyone have any suggestions for diabling/circumventing this prompt?
