Default How do you "strip" a hyperlink

Hello,

I have just ran a program called List Files (by Primitive Software, rel
1.43) which created a list of all my docs from a folder. My goal is to
import the newly created table into a database which will utilize the
hyperlinks. The problem is that the database is Access 97, which means I
must save the file in Excel 97 format (I am currently using Excel 2003), but
if I save the table in 97, the hyperlinks will disappear.

This is the formula behind the Excel for the given document path:

=HYPERLINK("C:\Data\DOC\Prospect_Name\Hope\Carol Ann Colon et vir Allen
Colon DDrep 6-12-06.doc","Carol Ann Colon et vir Allen Colon DDrep
6-12-06.doc")

My intended result would be this format:
C:\Data\DOC\Prospect_Name\Hope\Carol Ann Colon et vir Allen Colon DDrep
6-12-06.doc

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Phil
