Hi Tom,
This is an Excel group, if you have excell perhaps you should post in
an excell group, if there is such a thing.

An example of your problem would have been in your best interest
in getting a solution. Rather than forcing someone to guess.as to
your particular problem (and version of Excel/ I'm guessing you have
Excel 97 or Excel 2000, since Excel 2002 does not require the pathname.
The follow gets around having to specify a pathname for the same workbook...

=HYPERLINK("#C5",C5)
=HYPERLINK("#Sheet34!E6",Sheet34!E6)
=HYPERLINK("#'My Sheet'!E6",Sheet34!E9)

=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",C5),C5)
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",sheetone!C5),sheeton e!C5)
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",'sheet two'!C5),'sheet two'!C5)
