Is there a set of code i can enter into a document that will open all linked
documents. I don't want to just update but actually open all documents
linked to the main document. Is there a way to do this? Thanks

Place code like this in the Thisworkbook module of your workbook

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim alinks as Variant
aLinks =ThisWorkbook.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)
If Not IsEmpty(aLinks) Then
For i = 1 To UBound(aLinks)
on Error Resume Next
Application.workbooks.Open alinks(i)
if err.number <> 0 then _
msgbox alinks(i) & " could not be opened"
on Error goto 0
Next i
End If
Thisworkbook.Activate
End Sub


Placed in the Workbook_Open event.
