Yea, that seems to be the answer.

Hmm... If I recall correctly if you open an excel sheet and don't make
changes it won't ask you if you want to save, i.e. you can just close it
thereby avoiding the message box. If you can get the name of the sheet and
use it in your connection string without changing the sheet name you may be
able to avoid the stupid message box. As you know, you can give a linked
table in Access whatever name you desire regardless of the source table name
so your queries wouldn't have to change. The sole trick is to access the
data without changing the workbook so the message box doesn't pop up.
Something like appExcel.activeworkbook.Sheets(1).name should retrieve the
name for use in your connection string. Anyway, just a thought.

Since this is an automated process there is no one around to answer yes
(Excel can be so stupid sometimes).

Is there any way to force a yes (or no, I don't really much care what the
format is!)
