Hi,

I have an Excel file which has some cells with formulas that access data from another custom application ( real time stock prices).

When I have internet access those links work fine. The problem starts when work offline. As soon as I open the file the formulas try to find the source and Excel gives me the message: Excel is waitiong for another application to finish an OLE action.
The only workaround I know at this point is to kill Excel from Task manager. But that doesn't allow me to work on the file.

Is there a way to just ignore the other application and open the file?

Thanks.
