Default Programmatically creating hyperlinks

That is pretty close to what I want. Thank you very much. I believe I can
take it from here.

'This line will create a hyperlink in cell A1 that links back to the

different cell, then modify as needed.

Thank you for that piece, but I also need to be able to go to the page the
hyperlink is referencing and place a hyperlink back to the calling (first)
page. Thanks.

Assuming your titles are in one column (column A beginning at row 1) and
there are no empty rows between titles:

For Each cell In Range("A1:A" & Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row)
cell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Range("A" & cell.Row), Address:="",
SubAddress:= _
"'" & Sheets(cell.Value).Name & "'!A1",
TextToDisplay:=Sheets(cell.Value).Name
Next cell

I have one worksheet that lists a bunch of titles. Then for each title
in
the
first worksheet, I have another worksheet that corresponds to one of
those
titles on the first worksheet. I could have up to 250 worksheets, one
for
each title in the first worksheet. Can someone provide me with a way to
programmatically make the titles on the first sheet become hyperlinks
that
point to its corresponding sheet in the workbook. Plus, this is a
dynamically
workbook. Each week, it will have different titles and corresponding
worksheets for each, so I need to be able to save this code for use
each
week
when I create this workbook.

I've tried working on it myself, but am getting stuck on how to get to
the
correct sheet for each title. My attempt is below if anyone needs a
good
laugh :)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Code:
   Sub LinkSheets()
      Dim myRange As range
      Dim lastCell As Object
      Dim lastLoop As Boolean
      Dim sheetNumber As Integer
  
      'find the last cell so we know when to stop.
      With ActiveSheet
          Set lastCell = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)
      End With
  
      'Select the row in the first worksheet that I want.
      range("A:A").Select
  
      For Each cell In Selection
          If lastLoop Then
              Exit For
          Else
              If cell.Value = lastCell Then
                  lastLoop = True
              End If
  
              'Make sure I am not trying to link the worksheet header to
   another worksheet.
              'All good titles will have a dash.
              If InStr(1, cell.Value, "-")  0 Then
                  Cells.Find(What:=cell.Value, After:=ActiveCell,
   LookIn:=xlValues, _
                      LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns,
   SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
                      MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
  
                  Dim workSheetCount As Integer
                  Dim x As Integer
                  workSheetCount = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
  
                  'Get stuck here trying to go to the next sheet and 
   search
   for my title
                  'to see if this is the corresponding sheet I need for 
   this
   title.
                  For x = 1 To workSheetCount
                      ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(x).Select
                      Cells.FindNext(After:=ActiveCell).Activate
                  Next
  
                  'Once I do find the correct sheet, I hope this will 
   create
   the hyperlink I want
                  ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=cell, _
                      Address:="", SubAddress:=ActiveCell.Address,
   TextToDisplay:=cell.Value
  
                  'Then I want to create a "back" hyperlink to take the 
   user
   back to the
                  'master page (first page).
              End If
          End If
      Next cell
   End Sub
