Default problem with opening hyperlink in excel 2000

Hi David
Thanks for your reply. Originally the folder with hyperlinks was created in
excel 2000 it worked on the network between two computers. when one computer
broke down I copied the folder onto excel 2003. I can open the hyperlinks
until I get to the final one then I get the following message. 'PZ
Thursday.xls' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and
verify that the file location is correct. If I repeat the Hyperlink on my
second computer in excel 2000 I can then open it and the details on the open
file is as was entered on the excel 2003. Hope you can help thanks. Ruth

One possibility nothing to do with hyperlinks.

It is not a good idea to copy your toolbars file (.xlb) between different
versions of Excel, that is one possibility. Check the assigned macros
on your menus and toolbar buttons to see if they are referring to the
wrong location. If that is the problem I would suggest documenting
what you have see http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/barhopper.htm
and then you can recreate them, as noted you would have to save
your button images.

Can you give an example of a hyperlink that gets the error message,
and the exact wording of the error message as that is what would
have to be searched on.

I recently upgraded one computer to excel 2003. When a hyperlink is created
in Excel 2003 I can not open it in excel 2000 (on my lap top). As message
comes up saying epath or file name may have changed.
