If the user tries to activate the OLE object and the DataWindow server cannot find the linked file, which breaks the link, LinkUpdateOptions controls whether the DataWindow server automatically displays a dialog box prompting the user to find the file. If you turn off the automatic dialog box, you can reestablish the link by calling the LinkTo or LinkUpdateDialog in code.
