Hyperlinks to other Excel spreadsheets
 
In Excel 2003: I currently have hyperlinks to other Excel spreadsheets. All
of these spreadsheets are stored on a network drive and are utlized by other
people in the department. Lately, a dialog box stating cannot open file pops
up. After I update the link, it works. But within a few hours to a few
days, the link gives me the same dialog box. It didn't used to do this.

Hyperlinks to other Excel spreadsheets
 
problems can occur if the hyperlink uses a mapped network drive, such as Z:
I don't know if this is your case, but I have found it more reliable to use
the full UNC address instead.
