PPT97: Macro Recorder Doesn't Record Changes to Links Dialog Box (166438)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q166438 SYMPTOMS
The macro recorder does not record the commands for any of the following
options found in the Links dialog box (Edit menu):
- Update Now
- Open Source
- Change Source
- Break Link
- Update Manual
- Update Automatic
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, modify your macro code in the Visual Basic
Editor and use one of the available commands in the PowerPoint 97
object model.
NOTE: There is no object equivalent to the BreakLinks feature.
The LinkFormat class exposes some of the functionality of the Links dialog
box:
AutoUpdate
Use the AutoUpdate property to set the way a linked object is updated.
Similar to the Update Manual and Update Automatic options in the Links
dialog box.
SourceFullName
Use this property to change the source of linked OLE objects. This property
is similar to the Change Source button in the Links Dialog box.
Update
The Update method updates the specified linked OLE object. This method is
similar to the Update Now button in the Links Dialog box.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
