A few people have said that this has resolved the problem for them:
File|Properties|Summary Tab|Hyperlink Base
change it to C:\
(something that's always available)
I like to use the =hyperlink() worksheet function. It has never failed me this
way:
=hyperlink("file:////yourpathtothe/something.xxx","Click me")
==============
If you have to change lots and lots and lots back...
You could use the code from David McRitchie's site:
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/buildtoc.htm
look for:
Fix Hyperlinks (#FixHyperlinks)
If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm
(If it's just a few, I'd do it manually.)

I am creating a series of spreadsheets which are used by multiple users on
different computers. When we create the links we use a "global" reference
referring to the server name:
\\server_name\Directory 1\Directory 2\document name.doc
However, once someone clicks on the link it defaults to a "local" link to
where they have mapped the drive, eg.
.....\Directory%202\document%20name.doc
This means that if the document is save the link dose not work from another
computer.
How do you stop excel chanding the hyperlink you insert?
