Default Peculiar External Link Problem

Dear Ananth

I would suggest to always use the formula for links

=HYPERLINK("file:////c:\book1.xls","Book1")

If this post helps click Yes

I have a workbook that pulls data from HFM link.

When I open the file from the my local desk top the the cells in the
worksheet show the link as C:\Program\HFMView\bin\Hstbar.xla

When my manager opens the file from the network drive the the cells in the
same worksheet show the link as S:\Program\HFMView\bin\Hstbar.xls

My Manager becomes furious and says the link is not working and not able to
see the results.

When I open the file from the Network drive, I find what the manager is
saying is correct.



What is causing the problem.
