Default linking

You have to be careful with hyperlinking to files-

"H:\SDLS Daily Errors\2005-03-04.doc"

Is OK as a filename, but

H:\SDLS Daily Errors\2005-03-25 to 28 #1.doc

Is not! XL/VBA can't handle the "#" character. Your best bet is to remove
all "unusual" characters from the filename or create a shortcut to the file
using, say "00000000.doc" and increment this for each new file, else use the
register number!

It may sound stupid but I am lost.
I have a worksheet that acts as a register of assorted documents ie word,
pdf etc. All documents recieve a number from the register which is shown

on
the excel workbook. I now want to create a link to the raw document which

is
saved from email or raw in the same folder on the network drive.

I am having issues of the hyperlink working but then when I try it again

it
seems to fall over.
