Getting rid of update links popup?

When I open a worksheet I get a popup asking if I'd like to update all linked
information. Is there a way I could program it so that they are
automatically updated and the popup does not occure?

I was able to put an event handler on open to update the linked information
but it still give the popup. If I choose yes, then the linked info is
updated twice.

Hi,
menu Tools > Options , tab Edit, uncheck the 'Ask to update automatic links'.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I'm the developer, not the user. Due
to multiple reasons, I cannot ask the users to uncheck the box. I'd like to
find a way to ignore the box in programming so that the users do not need to
do anything. Is there a way?

see Excel VBA help. "Open" has an "updatelinks" parameter
