excel data connection not updating

[hopsy24]

I have an excel spreadsheet that uses a data connection to a website to download text. I have the data connection properties to refresh upon opening the file. If i double click the file from windows, it updates. Although using the code below doesn't work. When i've added the code ObjXL.Save before closing it, it usually saves a file with no data and no cells. Where am I going wrong? I'm eventually going to switch visible to false.

Private Sub btnDownLoadSettle_Click()
Dim XLapp As New Excel.Application
Dim ObjXL As Excel.Workbook
Set ObjXL = XLapp.Workbooks.Open("C:\...\Settlements.xlsx")
ObjXL.Application.Visible = True
ObjXL.Windows(1).Visible = True
Sleep (5000)
ObjXL.Close
XLapp.Quit
End Sub

I think it's something like ObjXL.Connections("conn name here").refresh iirc - let me know if that does the trick

This worked, but not when when objxl.window(1) was False. With this code, you don't see any of the windows.

Dim XLapp As New Excel.Application
Dim ObjXL As Excel.Workbook
Set ObjXL = XLapp.Workbooks.Open("C:\...\Settlements.xlsx")
ObjXL.Application.Visible = False
ObjXL.Windows(1).Visible = True
ObjXL.Connections("stlags").Refresh
Sleep (6000)
ObjXL.SaveAs "C:\...\FinalSett"
ObjXL.Close
XLapp.Quit
