I have some office 2003 spreadsheets that have data fields from external sources. When I go to update I use the "Main" page but have to click the "Refresh All" button from the tool bar to update. Is it possible to somehow link this into the page, some folks don't have the "Refresh All" button on tool bar and it's a pain to explain all the time. I would like the button attached to my main sheet. Possible ?

1 - Write or record a macro that performs the Refresh All function.
2 - Store the macro in the ThisWorkbook module of the workbook.
3 - Place a "button" (a shape, a textbox, etc.) on the Main page.
4 - Right click the button and assign the macro.

When the users click the button, the macro will run. This method assumes that the Macro Security level of each user's Excel app is set to allow macros to run.
