This will appear every time you open a spreadsheet that has links to another data source, either via DDE or a direct link referencing a different spreadsheet.
This has been the case for years.
However, as of 4.1.4, this message comes up twice, and there is a bug report at https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127582
I posted a similar topic at viewtopic.php?f=9&t=91051

So it's a bug?
I assume I will have to put up with it until the next update of AOO?

I get this message every time too on one of my spreadsheets. But I'm not sure what links it's referring to. There are no links to any external database, but as it's monthly accounts each page collects its initial figures from the final totals of the previous page. Are these the links referred to?

It sounds like the coding is detecting any kind of off sheet reference as a link.
A bit of quick checking supports this.
