Don't Update Link

I've stolen a sub routine which will go through a file path, open each file individually apply another subroutine save and close the file and move onto the next file.

However, when opening each individual file I get prompted to either Update or Don't Update links. What piece of code do I need to select Don't Update automatically and then apply the subroutine.

Sub AllFiles()

Dim folderPath As String
Dim filename As String
Dim wb As Workbook

folderPath = "G:\Network Operations Team\2014\MBPC\Network Capacity\Test\"

If Right(folderPath, 1) <> "\" Then folderPath = folderPath + "\"

filename = Dir(folderPath & "*.xlsm")
Do While filename <> ""
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(folderPath & filename)

Call Part1

filename = Dir

Loop

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

MsgBox "Patch Applied"

End Sub



Thanks,
Mark

RE: Don't Update Link

Hi Mark

Well done finding the code.

There is a way to stop the update or don't update links message appearing. Include the optional parameter UpdateLinks for the Workbooks.Open method.

Edit the line starting Set wb to...

Set wb = Workbooks.Open(folderPath & filename, UpdateLinks:=0)

If you change your mind and want to update the links Use UpdateLinks:=3 instead.

Thanks for the question, this was a new one for me! Please can you let me know if it works on your files, thanks.

Excel tip:

Display pictures on Chart Data Point

Replacing a single chart data point bar with a picture.
Step 1: Left click on a bar. Then, wait, and do a second single click on the bar. This will select just one data point.

Step 2: Right click on the bar and select Format Data Point.

Step 3: On the fill effects tab, choose a picture. Browse for a picture for that bar. Indicate if you want it to be stretched or stacked. Repeat for each bar.
