Hi Ranman, thanks for the reply. The issue isn't so much that the spreadsheet is popping to the front. The major problem is that occasionally when one of my users open the database, one of the linked spreadsheets will pop open with it in full WRITE mode. As a result, whenever any of my other...

Hi all, Seeing some strange behavior here. I have a database front end with an Excel spreadsheet as a linked table. On occasion, when one of my users either starts up the database, or attempts to run a query that pulls from that linked table, it will automatically open up the linked...
