For the JS refresh, check out Chris's other blog posting: blogs.msdn.com/.../enable-visio-services-data-refresh-using-script.aspx

Starting from this, I modified the AutoRefresh.js script line 51 to send a false instead of a true for the second parameter. Then in the VWAHelpers file, vwalib-1.0.4.js I modified the if/then/else in the enableRefresh function to the following.

if (entry && entry.get_visible())

{

if (always)

{

entry.onAction("RefreshAlways"); // this is the Enable Always button

}

else if (!always)

{

entry.set_visible(false); // this is the Close Button

}

else

{

entry.onAction("RefreshOnce"); // this is the Enable Session button

}

It may be worth mentioning here that this is a FARM wide change. In other words, this applies irrespective of the Web Application/Site Collection. Im looking for a ForceRefresh in one Web Application rather than across the farm.

Also modifying any files directly in the SharePoint root folder makes me cringe because its not part of a WSP/feature and you can loose this modification if you do an upgrade/migrate.

I'm also looking for a way to disable the refresh. Martin mentions "digging through the libraries and just turning off the refresh". Which "libraries" are you talking about? and what "refresh" option? and is the magic a library option or a document option or something else?

Thanks in advance

I actually fixed this by digging through the libraries and just turning off the refresh. That way I didn't get the pop up. I didn't want the refresh anyway due to cross site security concerns. Thanks for this article though it lead me to the solution.

This is great for forcing a refresh, but I want to disable the refresh and not allow a user to refresh the data. Is there anyway I can just close the window without allowing users the options? Reason is my drawing draws data from a different sharepoint farm, I have no control over the config settings of the farm and if they refresh it will cause an error. Basically I want to publish teh web viewable version, but I want the data refresh disabled and no option to pop up.

Thanks!
