Excel error when importing into Access 2003

[h20vrrq]

I have an Access 2003 database that scans a folder for excel workbooks, opens them and imports various ranges from within the workbook. The owner of the workbooks has changed a coupl of the worksheets and now when then import runs I get the message 'This workbook contains links to other data sources'.

Is it possible to suppress/ignore this message?

imports various ranges from within the workbook
How ?
Anyway, have a look here:

Hope This Helps, PH.

hi,

Use this Excel Application Method

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

before you Open any workbook.

Hi,

Does the excel application method work in Access? Where would it go?

If you do not update links, use:

Set xlBook = xlapp.Workbooks.Open(FileName:=FileItem.Path,UpdateLinks:=0)

[PHV]

Another way:
Set xlapp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
[!]xlapp.DisplayAlerts = False[/!]

Hope This Helps, PH.

Excel 2003 does not block the 'update links' message and use the default 'update' after Application.DisplayAlerst=False.
