Hi Jay, 
(In reply to Yousuf (Jay) Philips from comment #15)
I stumbled on the error a few days back and felt it wasnt clear enough and
thought the message should be improved to better explain why it didnt work,
as i had the same problem as most in the bug report of not understanding why
until i created a formula field and then it worked.

So do i think we should disable the error message? No. I think we shouldnt
disable the message as its an error message just like when we press F3 in
writer and their is no AutoText around.

@Cor, @Heiko, @Stuart: Whats your take?

As mentioned above, improving the error message language would be good and
we could also use it as a means of directing people used to the F4 opening
Data Sources to its new shortcut key. So i propose we change the message to
something like.

No references found in the selected cells.
Use Ctrl+Shift+F4 to open Data Sources.

What sound strange here is indicating two different functions in an error
message, but I agree with you that the error message is necessary to respect
the new design of the F4 shortcut. 

It would be useful to backport the new shortcut reference part to 5.1, so
other confused users are aware of the shortcut change. @Sophie: Your
thoughts?

Ok for the backport, but I'm really not sure about mentioning the Ctrl+shift+F4
in the error message

Would be good if we could name the dialog title to 'Toggle References' or
something like that.

+1

@Maxim: Can we extend ScDocShell::ErrorMessage() so that we can not only
display text in the dialog but also the dialog title, just like we have in
LO Basic
