Excel File Linked to PowerPoint

I have a PowerPoint97 presentation that has a link to an
Excel spreadsheet. Is there a way to hide or bypass the
initial prompt that is displayed in PowerPoint asking, "Do
you want to update links now?"

When the presentation is saved as a .pps, it doesn't
prompt to update the links; unfortunately, the linked data
is not the most current data. The default is to always
accept the updated link. Without doing any extensive
coding, is there a way to accomplish this so I don't have
to see the prompt and click "yes" each time the
presentation is opened?

Thanks.
 
Hi,

This is not something I have done, but I did read the following and it may
help. But it is mainly about auto-updating links. Whether it allows you to
bypass the prompt is something I haven't tested. Please holler back if you
need more info.
