No, if you read the entire post it is pretty straight forward.

1. I want to create relative (not absolute) links to other files.
2. I am not copying or using formulas.
3. I am trying to create a Table of Contents and each cell will link to a
file.
4. The files will all be burned to CD so having an absolute file path does
not work.
5. If I save the file off as a PDF it should keep the paths, if they were
relative.

Suggestions?

Please explain what you mean by a relative file path?

You want to copy the cell formula down a row and have the path change? If
so what should the paths look link in two adjacent cells? Give us an
example, please.

I would like to accomplish this same task as posted 11 months ago (end files
on a CD and links to each file) . (Using Word & Excel 2007)

I know the answer is to create "relative" file paths
however..............HOW do I create relative path names? When they are on
the CD in a folder the main sheet needs to link to each file.

Word or Excel to accomplish this?


Thank you

Is your hyperlink to a relative address, or an absolute address? If it is
a relative address, then you should be OK if all your files are being copied
onto the same CD with the same relative folder structure as you've got where
you're creating them.

I have to archive media clippings for my company. I have a list with
hyperlinks to the source files (JPG's, PDF's, ZIP's etc.)

I have different folders for all the source files (according to date) and
want the end-user to have access to those files with a simple click in
Excel.

The end-product will be on a CD. As I don't know what their CD drive
letter
will be, how can I be certain that the link will guide them to the
corresponding file?
