This article was previously published under Q222707





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 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 that this is a problem in Microsoft PowerPoint 2000.
