Question

I created a powerpoint that has links to our local sever that automatically update the charts and uploaded it as an attachment to our twiki site. By default our twiki allows the user to open the powerpoint viewing it as a slide show. When the user simply opens the powerpoint the links do not automatically update. However, if the user saves the powerpoint and opens the saved copy, powerpoint will ask if the user would like to update the links. I need to find a way to force the links to update when the attachment is opened, or force the user to save the attachement before opening.
