--- Comment #15 from Yousuf (Jay) Philips <philipz85 at hotmail.com> ---
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.

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?

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

@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
