I have an inventory file in which I have created an MS Query to source workbook, and it works great thanks to some tips I got here. However, many people need to use the inventory file, but no all of them have access to the share folder that has the source workbook. I found the macro to disable the connections, but is there a way for a macro to check if the user has access to that folder and disable links if they don't? This way it will update when I open it, but won't create any errors for people who don't have access.

Thanks in advance!

I was thinking that some kind of error handling in trying to open the source file would work. What do you think?
