It may depend on how the "file imports external data from a web query", and on the Excel version. If, say, there is an auto_open macro, then try something like:

oExcel = Createobject("Excel.Application")
oExcel.DisplayAlerts = .F.
oExcel.visible = .t.
oExcel.AutomationSecurity = 1  && low
oExcel.workbooks.Open(gcxlsLive)
oExcel.Application.Run("Auto_Open")

Thanks Yuri for your reponse
when I included your changes I get the message ole dispach error cannot find the macro Auto_open.
Then after several minutes I get the message enable automatic refresh and if yes still no update bacause it does not save.

Thanks
