I have a user that uses Excel 2000 quite a bit. She suddenly started having
problems with hyperlinks being added to all the cells in her file.
Everytime she clicked on a cell it tried to open a specific webpage. I
thought it was a one-time mistake so I downloaded and created a macro called
"removeHyperlinks" from mrexcel.com to automatically remove all the
hyperlinks in the cells. This worked and I thought it was solved.

The next day she called me back and said the hyperlinks were back, and it
was happening in more than one file now. She states she will be working
along and suddenly they hyperlinks appear. She has to create the
"RemoveHyperlinks" macro in the file and run it to keep working. After a
while it happens again. I looked and I do not see any other macro's in the
list except for the "RemoveHyperlinks" one I made. What else could be
causing this behavior?

Here is the macro I created in case it is relevant:
Sub RemoveHyperLinks()
Range("A2:A999").Hyperlinks.Delete
End Sub

I would look at the users AutoCorrect listing under Tools=Autocorrect and
see if there is a defintion that turns an entry into a hyperlink.


If you don't find anything there, see what addins are loaded.
