Hi! tsmith1977 i hope my reply has able to help you;

1. first make a map the folder from the network that contain a PDF
file
example : Z:\PDFFILES
the map Z:\ folder contain two file(s)
test.pdf
testfile.pdf

Note: Please make sure that their no special character on the filename
of
the PDF and make the filename 8 character only to avoid error.

2. on Excel right click the cell that you want to active the HyperLink
and
open the share folder

Ex: Z:\PDFFILES\test.pdf

path )

WHen I create a hyperlink to a file (which contains a few pics and a pdf) and
then go back and test the hyperlink several aspects are changed. See below:

Here is what the hyperlink looks like when entered:
AL\Birmingham\4700 Pinson Valley Parkway

Here is the path when I click "ok":
\\Ntserver\public\BIG Industrial\Available Properties
Link\AL/Birmingham/4700 Pinson Valley Parkway

(Notice ABove that it changes the slashes to forward slash after "AL"

The deal is that when I try and open a pdf I have saved it will not open,, i
dont get any error message I only get the computer "thinking for a moment and
then nothing happens. Adobe reader doesnt open or anything. Please Help
