How can I disable the links and query alerts

[slang]

I have an application that has links to other sheets that open via code when needed and also queries from external data.
How do I disable the user from seeing the ?cannot update links? and hide the ?enable automatic refresh? alerts.
I want to make the default ?Enable Automatic Refresh?
I assume I put this code in the ?workbook open? section?

Thanks for your help.

Have you tried:

[VBA]
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
[/VBA]

?

[slang]

That takes care of the "links" message but does not remove the "Query refresh" alert to enable automatic refresh.
Is there a way to have this not display and have the setting default to "Automatic refresh"?

Thanks.....

Any ideas on how or if the external data query prompt can be bypassed through code?
Maybe more details might help.
I have a query that uses an external data range that is refreshed automatically when the user changes a cell value. Everything works fine but I would like to kill the "external data query" prompt when the workbook opens.

Any Ideas?
