Enable automatic refresh prompt

I am trying to disable the automatic refresh prompt when loading a workbook.

I have tried the Application.DisplayAlerts = False but no joy.

Anyone help?

Thank you.

Richard

If you are talking about updating links, in xl2002 and earlier, you can
either have the links update with no prompt or be prompted. Code doesn't
run before the question is asked and if you are opening the workbook with
code from another workbook, I don't believe displayalerts will suppress
this - however in that situation, you can just use the UpdateLinks argument
in the workbook.Open command to suppress it.

In Excel 2003 there is an option under Edit=>Links to suppress it.

(I could be misremembering, but I don't believe this option was added until
2003. If it was any earlier, it was xl2002, but I believe not).

The Edit=>Links is greyed out. This data refresh it is prompting for is for
an ODBC link out to an Oracle Database...

I am not familiar with that prompt - sorry.
