Hello,
I am using word 2007, excel 2007 on a windows XP machine with all updates
done.
I have a word file that has links to excel file. These are {Link
Excel.Sheet.8 ......} fields. None of the fields have the \a switch - i.e.
all links are set to manual update.
The word switches "Update Automatic Links on Open", "Update fields before
printing" and "Update Linked data before printing" are all unchecked.
I am trying to prevent the word file from accessing the excel data at all
before i do some management in a Sub AutoOpen() routine.
Specifically we have excel files that are accessed over out intranet via
mapped drives - and the service is not the quickest. In the case whereby the
links refer to a excel file over a networked drive, and the file is not
opened prior to opening hte word document, it's a very slow process. Looking
at Process explorer it seems that for each link, Excel is opened then closed
again.
However I cannot seem to stop these file accesses. Is there anything I can
do to prevent word from accessing a file at all on opening?
