    Excel Asks to Update Links EVERY single time I open it, for EVERY file or new files

    Cannot seem to find a solution to this (yet). Within the last week maybe 2, every single excel file I open asks to update links (and i search but cannot find any). This goes for files that are a few days old, files that I haven't touched in 4 years, or if I just launch excel to create a new document, it asks to update the links every single time.

    Is this some setting? Did I somehow get links attached to my PERSONAL.xlsb file?

    There are 2-3 files I work with occassionally (and that get passed around, not my choice) that do have external links and I tell excel to ignore the update, but it is now happening every single time the app launches. Any help clearing this up, much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Administrative note

    Still using XL2003 as indicated in your profile?
    If not,perhaps update your profile as necessary to properly reflect the exact version(s) of Excel your question relates to? Members tailor answers based on your Excel version.
    Thanks

    Not sure how that ended up with 2003, but currently on 2013 (changing profile now).
