how to disable update links message when opening files

[hervinder]

Hi

I have approx 200 simple templates all of which are the same in layout, i'm
using a simple macro which uses a loop to open each file pick up bits of info
and lay it out on a list.

The problem i have is some of these files have external links and when the
macro opens them i get the message "Do i want to update links" which also
pauses the macro until i click update or dont update. Is it possible to put
a code within the macro which automatically selects dont update if a file has
links. I've displayalerts = false but this doesnt seem to work

thanks in advance
