Default Full hyperlink issue, please help - end of my tether lol

You'll have to fix the existing incorrectly changed hyperlinks first.

Then change the hyperlink base.

David McRitchie has some code that you can use to change the hyperlinks:

look for:
Fix Hyperlinks (#FixHyperlinks)

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

A few people have said that this has resolved the problem for them:

File|Properties|Summary Tab|Hyperlink Base
change it to C:\
(something that's always available)

Hello and once again thanks in advance for any help you are willing to
provide me.


My problem is this, I have a script that very simply goes down a list
extracts certain hyperlinks and sends a print command using this
hyperlink via shellexecute(). This worked fine when testing on my own
PC before adding it to a copy of the master spreadsheet on the
network. The only thing that seems to have changed is that the
hyperlinks have now become "relative" rather than "absolute" ie.
instead of showing file:///\\server\files\files\file.pdf the extracted
URL is showing ../../../files/file.pdf


I've been doing research on the internet via the power of google and
google groups primerily and the suggestions seem to be 2:


The use of the Base Hyperlink property in the sheet properties. This
does not seem to work as the hyperlinks are not all located in the
same directory structure.


And


using =Hyperlink() to set the hyperlinks in the cells. I believe this
has already been done as when hovering over the hyperlinks the
complete full path is shown its only when you extract it that its
not.


Please can you help me in at the least pointing me in the right
direction.


Many Thanks


David Armstrong


PS the code is below


Code:
 
   Private Sub OKButton_Click()
   Dim Papersizes As String
   Dim cell As Range
 
    Addr = RefEdit1.Value
    myRegKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT
   \CurrentVersion\Windows\Device"
    sMyDefPrinter = RegKeyRead(myRegKey)
 
   For Each hlnk In Range(Addr).Hyperlinks
 
     If hlnk.Range.Offset(0, 1).Text = "A4" Then
 
   ' URL = SSFPath + hlnk.Address()
      URL = hlnk.Address
   Printer = GetPrinterKey(PaperSizeA4)
       RegKeySave myRegKey, Printer
 
       Call ShellExecute(0&, "print", URL, vbNullString, vbNullString,
   vbNormalFocus)
    End If
 
   Next
 
   For Each hlnk In Range(Addr).Hyperlinks
     If hlnk.Range.Offset(0, 1).Text = "A3" Then
 
     URL = hlnk.Address()
     Printer = GetPrinterKey(PaperSizeA3)
     RegKeySave myRegKey, Printer
 
     Call ShellExecute(0&, "print", URL, vbNullString, vbNullString,
   vbNormalFocus)
   End If
   Next
 
   For Each hlnk In Range(Addr).Hyperlinks
 
     If hlnk.Range.Offset(0, 1).Text = "A2" Then
 
       URL = hlnk.Address
       Printer = GetPrinterKey(PaperSizeA2)
       RegKeySave myRegKey, Printer
 
       Call ShellExecute(0&, "print", URL, vbNullString, vbNullString,
   vbNormalFocus)
    End If
 
    Next
 
   For Each hlnk In Range(Addr).Hyperlinks
 
     If hlnk.Range.Offset(0, 1).Text = "A1" Then
 
       URL = hlnk.Address
       Printer = GetPrinterKey(PaperSizeA1)
       RegKeySave myRegKey, Printer
 
       Call ShellExecute(0&, "print", URL, vbNullString, vbNullString,
   vbNormalFocus)
    End If
 
    Next
 
    For Each hlnk In Range(Addr).Hyperlinks
 
     If hlnk.Range.Offset(0, 1).Text = "A0" Then
 
       URL = hlnk.Address
       Printer = GetPrinterKey(PaperSizeA0)
       RegKeySave myRegKey, Printer
 
       Call ShellExecute(0&, "print", URL, vbNullString, vbNullString,
   vbNormalFocus)
    End If
 
    Next
   RegKeySave myRegKey, sMyDefPrinter
 
   Unload UserForm1
 
   End Sub
