loExcel.AskToUpdateLinks = .f.

Thanks

>>Thanks, that helped. It's hanging because a dialog is up asking if I want to update refernces to other files. Funny - in 2003, this dialog appeared even though I set visible to .f.. I guess I'll have to figure out how to do this in 2010 OR open the file with some setting that suppresses the question. Any ideas?
