Hi dave

What I am trying to , I have now discoverd, does not require a Hyperlink
I am trying to replace a straight forward file path, shown below

='C:\Users\Welcome\Stewarts Files\Road accounting program\Road Accounting
Package\Production Managers Package\[Production Managers
Spreadsheet.xls]Production Managers Spreadsheet'!D111

With

=MID(CELL("filename"),1,FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-25)&"Production Managers
Package\[Production Managers Spreadsheet.xls]Production Managers
Spreadsheet'!D111"

=MID(CELL("filename"),1,FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-25) gives me

C:\Users\Welcome\Stewarts Files\Road accounting program\Road Accounting
Package\

So what am I doing wrong?

Best

Stewart

If you want to open the file to a specific worksheet, you're going to have to
include a specific cell, too (A1???).

Untested:

=HYPERLINK("file:\\\\"&MID(CELL("FILENAME",a1),1,
FIND("[",CELL("filename",a1))-10)
& "Road accounting program\Road Accounting Package"
& "\Road Managers Package\Tour managers Spreadsheet.xls]'"
& "Tour Managers Spreadsheet'!a1",D111)

Hi David

I have changed that but other than that does the formula look right? Still
no success

Usually safest to use CELL("FILENAME",A1) rather than CELL("FILENAME")
See Excel help for the CELL function.

Hi All

The followig does not display the contents of D111.also it will not open
Tour Managers Spreadsheet , which is the sheet name inside Tour Managers
Spreadsheet Workbook.
In order to to eliminate the actual formula, can anybody see anything
physically wrong with the layout

=HYPERLINK(MID(CELL("FILENAME"),1,FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-10)&"Road
accounting program\Road Accounting Package\Road Managers Package\Tour
managers Spreadsheet.xls]'Tour Managers Spreadsheet'!",D111)

Thanks for looking

Stew
