How important is the \a switch in fields?
I have a template with MANY fields linked to excel. The template takes
forever to open. I've used options and disabled the update automatic links on opening, but it still opens very slow. What will happen if I take all of the \a switches out of the fields? Will it jam everything or open my template faster? I have code that updates all fields before saving so that's not an issue. Thx |

Best would be to test it. If you're updating the fields otherwise, then you don't need the \a switch (these are LINK fields, I take it).
