I have the following macro to update link, but when running this macro it opens up the folder and I need to then select the workbook

I would like to incorporate the workbook within the code so I do not have to search for the workbook and click on it in order for the links to be updated

The workbook is in C:\my documents and called "Sales Report Ver 1.1.xlsm"


Code:
 Sub UpdateLinks()

        ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLink Name:=ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources, Type:=xlExcelLinks

 End Sub

Your assistance is most appreciated
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
?

ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLink Name:="C:\my documents\Sales Report Ver 1.1.xlsm", Type:=xlExcelLinks
