Real time update of excel object in powerpoint live presentation

HI all. Here is what I am trying to do for a client.

Link an excel object in powerpoint to the excel file, and set it to automatic update.

The excel file will be located on a server.

The Powerpoint will be continuously looped in the businesses forum or lobby, and will constantly be fed real-time data like stock quotes and stock market info, from a group of people inputting data real-time.

How do I make the excel object so literally everytime the value changes in the excel file it will real-time reflect in powerpoint. without having to stop the program, without having to manually type it in powerpoint.

Thanks so much.

Warmest Regards,
Benjamin Davidson

An option I've used before is the "Update Links" macro that Shyam wrote.
