This example displays the status of automatic updating for all OLE objects on Sheet1.
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Value = "Name"
Range("B1").Value = "Link Status"
Range("C1").Value = "AutoUpdate Status"
i = 2
For Each obj In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects
Cells(i, 1) = obj.Name
If obj.OLEType = xlOLELink Then
Cells(i, 2) = "Linked"
Cells(i, 3) = obj.AutoUpdate
Else
Cells(i, 2) = "Embedded"
End If
i = i + 1
