Thanks Bill. I tried your suggestion but it does not seem to change
anything...

Here is a very strange thing. In my spreadsheet I have some cells that work
and others that do not. Both seem to be pointing to the same folder and when
I go to "hyperlink edit" they show file location in the same format:

.../Flood%202005%20Pictures/September%202%20Oak%20Bar%20Demo/Flood%202005%20007.jpg

The working one was in the spreadsheet before I think (I believe that the
original spreadsheet was created using version 2000). The one that is not
working was created recently.

Also if I "edit hyperlink" of the working one and repoint to the same
picture in the same folder, the link stops working.... doesn't show any
error message... nothing ....

Try

File / Properties / Summary / Hyperlink Base /
\\Nonexistent server\Nonexistent folder
and let us know if that helps (especially with hyperlinks subsequently
created in that workbook)
