Absolute vs Relative path
I have an issue with hyperlinks in Excel 2000. I am trying
to create hyperlinks to documents/XLS files on a our network, and want to use absolute paths. I can "point" the hyperlink to the document, click on the link and it works fine, with the address showing as an absolute path (\\server\folderA\folderB\doc.xls). When I save the document the link changes from the absolute path to a relative path (../../../ doc.xls). This creates a problem because when others try using the hyperlinks, they do not work (office clients range from 2000 to 2003). Help. -- |

I've never had any trouble with the =hyperlink() worksheet function. If it's
possible, you may want to use this. An untested alternative: File|Properties|Summary Tab change the hyperlink base to C:\ Can you post back with your results if you test the hyperlink base suggestion?
