Update Excel links/content from vb.net/c#

Hi Forum,

In Excel 2007, when you open up a file that has links to externel files, or you have an ODBC to a database, excel displays a bar near the top of the screen for the user to enable the content manually.

I have written an application that scans a folder for excel files, opens each one up, makes a small change, save then close the file.

This is working great however, some of the files use externel links and/or ODBC data connections.

What I would like my application to do now is, open up the excel file. Enable the content, then save the file after.

I am currently using

Code:

---

xlWorkbook.ForceFullCalculation = true;

---

directly after I open the file, but this doesn't seem to do what I want.

Thanks for the help

After a bit of of digging I have also come up with

Code:

---

        for (int con = 1; con <= xlWorkbook.Connections.Count; con++)
            {
                xlWorkbook.Connections[con].Refresh();
            }

---

Sadly, that doesn't seem to work for me.
