Hyperling changing
Oh Wise Ones,
I have a weird problem that I have never encountered before. I inserted a hyperlink and tested it, and it worked fine. I saved the workbook. When I the workbook again, the hyperlink was altered with % and numbers inserted. Needless to say the hyperlink was broken. I fix it and it changes back. What is going on? I entered this: \My Documents\Rubloss Calculator.xls and it turns into this: /My%20Documents/Rubloss%20Calculator.xls What can I do to prevent this? Thanks, Mike |

%20 is the code for a space.
Are you saying that the link now doesn't work? Are you sure that the document is still there? -- David Biddulph "Mike K" wrote in message ...

Its definitely there. I can change it back, click on the link and it works.
But when I close the workbook and reopen, its reverted back to the %20. Mike "David Biddulph" wrote: %20 is the code for a space. Are you saying that the link now doesn't work?

Don't use:
Insert Hyperlink... instead something like: =HYPERLINK("file:///c:\Documents and Settings\Book1.xls","book1") -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200748 "Mike K" wrote: Oh Wise Ones, I have a weird problem that I have never encountered before.

David,
No, it doesn't work at all. I have substituted a hyperlink formula I found from a forum search from Mr Peterson. That seems to be working. I will use it for a few days and see if it corrupts.

Gary's Student,
I have been reading up on the corruption issues from the hyperlink 'insert", and have tried the formula which I didn't realize existed. It seems to be working. Is there an acknowledged bug with the hyperlink insert?

I get this whenever I upload anything the intranet at work. It is
replacing the spaces in your path/filename with the %20. The link continues to work - just looks strange!

Which version of Excel are you using?
I'm using Excel 2003, and a hyperlink works just as well for me when it has the %20 in the link as it did with the spaces. I'm intrigued as to why your Excel should behave differently. -- David Biddulph "Mike K" wrote in message ... David, No, it doesn't work at all.

Interesting. Perhaps someone else can tell us whether they have seen the
same problem as yours, and if so what are the circumstances in which it happens? -- David Biddulph "Mike K" wrote in message ...
