PUB3: Links Updated Too Early If Source Is Open

= PUB3: Links Updated Too Early If Source Is Open =

Q137772
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Publisher for Windows 95, version 3.0

SUMMARY

=
If you open a Publisher document that contains an OLE object, and the OLE source application is closed, an Update Links dialog box appears. This dialog box allows you to stop the update.

If you click the Stop button within three seconds, the OLE object will not be updated. If you open a Publisher document that contains an OLE object, if the OLE source is open, an Update Links dialog box will appear, but the update will occur automatically. When the OLE source file is already open, the appearance of the Update Links dialog box may be misunderstood.

MORE INFORMATION

=
===

This behavior is by design. When an OLE source is open, updates to the OLE destination occur automatically when the destination documents are opened.
