The only solution I could think of is if the user created a link to it on
their desktop with a common name, you could hyperlink to the desktop link.
Or (and that doesn't sound practical), have code search their drives to find
the file, then create the hyperlink. You could do that in some form of
installation program.

i've a problem.

I have to distribute an excel file containing an hyperlink to a
external program that is supposed to be in users' PC.

the problem is i don't know where this file is saved inside other users
HD then i can't create a universal hyperlink to open it directly from
the excel file.

this external program have its own installation folder and its .exe
icon but, i can not know in which disk is located.

so how can i create a universal hyperlink able to open this .exe file
from its real path???
