Hi Pete,
Sorry about the re-post - I thought I needed to to properly direct my
question to the right experts. Didn't realize you could see across categories
- now I know :)

your suggestion.... each individual would need to do that for each of
their own files within those folders, correct?

Just because you have posted here, this won't get you a more pleasing
answer than the ones you have elsewhere.

However, one thing you can do is to use Find & Replace (CTRL-H) to
change the path(s) to suit the new arrangement after you have moved
the folders.

Hope this helps.

Pete

We are planning a re-configuration of our primary Drive and will be moving
most of our folders and subfolders. We commonly use hyperlinks between
workbooks. We are an Excel dependent department nad have thousands of files
within our primary folders and subfolders.

During testing, I find that when the source workbook is moved, the hyperlink
to that workbook no longer works and I get: "Cannot open specified file."

I need to move the folders and subfolders soon and need to know how to
prevent this error from occurring when the users try to use the hyperlinks.

Also, vlookups - I know my vlookups to sheets within a workbook will be
fine. Will the vllokups to other workbooks break also?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!! jane
