Excel Hyperlinks Broken After Windows Update 11/25
I left an Excel document open, not realizing Windows update would be
restarting my computer while I was gone. When I got back, my file had reopened (autosave), but when I click on a Hyperlink (to a .tif file in the same folder), I get the message: "cannot open the specified file". This is a 36,000 row document that is worthless without the hyperlinking function. I went back to the file as backed up yesterday and I get the same result. No existing hyperlinks will open. If I create a new hyperlink, it works. I tried backing out of the system updates one at a time, but it had no effect, so I just reinstalled them. I'm using Office 2007 on Vista Home Premium. Any help appreciated. |

Any help appreciated. Some additional data I've just discovered. When I create a new hyperlink, it points directly to the file and folder it's stored in. All of the existing hyperlinks point to: c:\users\(me)\appdata\roaming\microsoft\excel\(fil ename). Going to this folder manually reveals a single file-~arBCD.xar. Is there any way to make the links point to the correct file other than manually fixing all 36,000 of them? |
