Why do you have two back slashes after the H: portion.
And both of these formats worked ok for me.
To just open the workbook:
=HYPERLINK("C:\My Documents\excel\book1.xls","whatever")
To go to a certain cell on a worksheet:
=HYPERLINK("C:\My Documents\excel\book1.xls#sheet3!d99","whatever")

Dave & Carol,
Thank you both for the help, but it still doesn't work.
Here's what I have as the hyperlink within file A:
=HYPERLINK("[H:\\Battery Control Systems\Customer Programs\Standard Pack
DV\BMS DV Test Plan 30mar05.xls]BCM In-Out I&V!", "BCM In-Out I&V")
Anymore recommendations?

I'd guess you had a typo.
You may want to post the way you did the hyperlink (insert|link or
=hyperlink()???).
And what your hyperlink address was.
(Don't have any octothorpes (#) in the filename/sheetnames.)

I created a hyperlink in A Excel file to B Excel file. It referenced a
bookmark in B. It worked when I tried it before I closed it and it worked.
When I opened A again and clicked the hyperlink, it said "The address of the
site is not valid...Check the address and try again."
