Hi

I have a shared spreadsheet that has links to external data via a System DSN. Trouble is that out of 4 computers on our network 2 will refresh the data when the sheet is opened and 2 require manual refresh. All systems are 64bit Windows 7 with Office 2010 32bit. I need to switch off this auto refresh on the computers that do it, Any ideas where I can find this? (btw I have checked the connection settings and "Refresh data when opening the file" is u nticked).

Is this an excel or windows issue?
