Follow hyperlink but don't update links....is it possible ?

[Guest]

I have a long list of hyperlinks to files with the files have many links to
other files. I'm trying to open the files but not update the links in the
files as it slows the process down way to much. I thought the code would be
as follows but it doesn't work. Any idea ? tia.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveCell.Hyperlinks(1).Follow
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Instead of using the hyperlink, make the cell look like a hyperlink. Then
use the selection change event check which cell was selected and for
appropriate cell, fire code that does a

Workbook.Open Filename, updateLinks:=0
