I have inherited an Excel workbook with several worksheets containing
charts that get their source data via MSQuery from an Access
database.  The users require that this stay in Excel so I have to find
a way to make it work.

The problem I am having is that whenever the user opens the workbook
they are prompted to tell it whether or not to allow updates.  The sad
part of this is that we cannot rely on the numerous users to not
accidently push the wrong button and allow it to update, and thus
destroy the current data.  I have to find a way that the user can open
the workbook, let it update, save the workbook, then be able to open
it again in the future without updating (and thus changing) the data
until the next month when the process starts over.

I tried finding a way to shut off the update prompt, but couldn't come
up with anything.  I tried having the user save the workbook as a web
page, but it still asked if the user wanted to update the data.  I
tried selecting the entire workbook, copying it, then doing a paste
special to values - I couldn't get that to work either.  Does anyone
know of a way that my user can open the original workbook, save the
updated results as another file that does not try to update the data
every time it is opened?  I'm open to suggestions.

Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks!
