I'm entering a hyperlink via the function tool.
Once I've completed the function and click on the text to take me to the
remote cell, I get the message "The address of this site is not valid. Check
the address and try again"
DOes anyone have any solution to this?

Link_location is the path and file name to the document to be opened as
text. Link_location can refer to a place in a document €” such as a specific
cell or named range in an Excel worksheet or workbook, or to a bookmark in a
Microsoft Word document. The path can be to a file stored on a hard disk
drive, or the path can be a universal naming convention (UNC) path on a
server (in Microsoft Excel for Windows) or a Uniform Resource Locator (URL
(Uniform Resource Locator (URL): An address that specifies a protocol (such
as HTTP or FTP) and a location of an object, document, World Wide Web page,
or other destination on the Internet or an intranet, for example:
http://www.microsoft.com/.)) path on the Internet or an intranet.
I hope this helps

Hi,

The following section includes information from the on-line help under the
heading "Creating a Hyperlink".

Create a hyperlink to a specific location in a workbook

To link to a location in the current workbook or another workbook, you can
either define a name (name: A word or string of characters that represents a
cell, range of cells, formula, or constant value. Use easy-to-understand
names, such as Products, to refer to hard to understand ranges, such as
Sales!C20:C30.) for the destination (destination: General term for the name
of the element you go to from a hyperlink.) cells or use a cell reference.

To use a name, name the destination cells in the destination workbook.
How?

Select the cell, range of cells, or nonadjacent selections (nonadjacent
selection: A selection of two or more cells or ranges that don't touch each
other. When plotting nonadjacent selections in a chart, make sure that the
combined selections form a rectangular shape.) that you want to name.
Click the Name box at the left end of the formula bar (formula bar: A bar at
the top of the Excel window that you use to enter or edit values or formulas
in cells or charts. Displays the constant value or formula stored in the
active cell.) .


Name box

Type the name for the cells.
Press ENTER.
Note You cannot name a cell while you are changing the contents of the
cell.

In the source (source file: The file that contains information that was used
to create a linked or embedded object. When you update the information in the
source file, you can also update the linked object in the destination file.)
workbook, right-click the text or graphic you want to represent the hyperlink
(hyperlink: Colored and underlined text or a graphic that you click to go to
a file, a location in a file, a Web page on the World Wide Web, or a Web page
on an intranet. Hyperlinks can also go to newsgroups and to Gopher, Telnet,
and FTP sites.), and then click Hyperlink on the shortcut menu.
Do one of the following:
To link to a location in your current workbook, click Place in this document
under Link to.

To link to a location in another workbook, click Existing file or Web page
under Link to.

If you chose Existing file or Web page, locate and select the workbook you
want to link to, and then click the Bookmark button.
Do one of the following:
In the list under Cell Reference, click the sheet you want to link to, and
then type the cell reference in the Type in the cell reference box. Click OK.

In the list under Defined Names, click the name that represents the cells
you want to link to. Click OK.

To assign a tip to be displayed when you rest the pointer on the hyperlink,
click ScreenTip and then type the text you want in the ScreenTip text box.
Click OK.
