ExcelBanter - How to make an HTML link in excel

I'm not sure you can hide the tooltip that shows up when you let the mouse hover
over the cell.

Maybe you could add a shape to the worksheet and then assign a macro to that
shape. The macro could follow the hyperlink.

For instance, I added a couple of rectangles to a worksheet and assigned the
same macro to both of them:

Option Explicit
Sub myLink()

Dim myHyperLink As String

myHyperLink = ""
Select Case LCase(Application.Caller)
Case Is = "rectangle 3": myHyperLink = "http://www.google.com"
Case Is = "rectangle 4": myHyperLink = "http://www.microsoft.com"
End Select

If myHyperLink = "" Then
Beep
Else
ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=myHyperLink, NewWindow:=True
End If

End Sub

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

I want to link a few sites to some cells in excel. I would like place a
link within specific text.
Ex. _Link_name (\"http://www.google.com\")_ and have
the URL hidden. Link example goes to Google.com.
Thank you,
Joe
