WEll, poking around a bit more, I see that Access has the ability to
hyperlink to an object, but from all I can tell by looking at the Excel
Hyperlink object, Excel only supports hyperlinking to a location with a
string address. In terms of hyperlinking within a workbook, that seems to
limit it to cells, ranges of cells or named ranges - and "static" locations,
at that (only a hyperlink to a named range keeps the appropriate destination
if rows/columns are added/deleted).

(Sigh) Any chance there in some MS reference that I could enable that would
give Excel the ability to link to an object?

Again, thanks for at least reading this, even if nothing came to mind when
you did!

Autoshapes have hyperlink attributes, so it's easy to hyperlink from a
autoshape to a cell, named range, file or url.

But, is there any way to hyperlink *TO* an autoshape? The best I've been
able to do is to use the TopLeftCell / BottomRightCell to get a range to
hyperlink to, but with row / column inserts or just moving the autoshape,
that range rapidly gets out-of-sync with the actual autoshape location.

Any thoughts will be most appreciated!
