How to prevent "Update Links" dialog in VBA?

[jayG]

Hi,

I am trying to open a powerpoint file through VBA
which is linked to a Excel file. I am getting only the
powerpoint file from the client and not the linked Excel
file. When i try to open the ppt file using VBA it prompts
whether to update links or not.. I do not want to update
links and want to avoid the dialog. When i get the ppt
file, the links are set to automatic.

Thanks in advance.
