I am moving an Excel spreadsheet with about 3000 hyperlinks from C: drive to
U: drive (servor) and need to revise the hyperlinks accordingly. While I'm at
it, I can take an unneccessary folder (....../folder/....) out of the
address. I tried writing VBA to do this without success. Suggestions? Thank
you in advance. Doug
