VBA: Prevent Excel from updating links on open

Question

I have a workbook with multiple external links,

I don't want these to update when the workbook is opened, by me or any other user.

I have tried to achieve this with the simple work book open command below:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Workbook.UpdateLinks = xlUpdateLinksNever
End Sub

Am I missing something ?

Answer 1

Put the code in the ThisWorkbook:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Me.UpdateLink = xlUpdateLinksNever
End Sub
