UpdateLinks Property

[Sorry again, left out the most important part]
Const xlUpdateLinksUserSetting = 1
Const xlUpdateLinksNever = 2
Const xlUpdateLinksAlways = 3

way.
Why not have a dig around in the Object browser
Check Tools--Options--Calculation Tab and try changing the Calculation
radio button to Manual. That might get rid of the message. You just
have to keep in mind that you need to manually recalculate your values
if you want to see the current data.
