I, personally like the =hyperlink() worksheet function, too.

I can put the UNC Path in a cell (hidden away) and put the filenames in column A
(if I have lots of links to use) and use a version of Gary''s Student's
suggestion:

With \\finance\statements\ in A1
and 1stqtr.pdf in A2
I'd put this in B2
=HYPERLINK("File:////" & $a$1 & a2, "Click Me")

Then when the IT folks move the files--or replace that server with a differently
named one, I can just make one change in $A$1 and all my links are working
again.

Hi
Excel 2003
I've got a spreadsheet with hyperlinks to other spreadsheets existing
on a shared drive.

I used to be able to email this file to recipients with no problems.

Now the hyperlinks are redirected to C:\windows\temporary internet
files\OLK1\filename.xls

What would have caused this change?
