Can I specify the absolute path?
When using this call:
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Range("A" & k), Address:=Range("A" & k).Value, TextToDisplay:=Range("A" & k).Value Is there a way to specify the absolute path, which is what is specified in Range("A" & k).Value? A typical Range("A" & k).Value might be: N:\ENGINEERING\00 - VAULT\Solidworks Files\COMPLETE\0-9\2093,000-2093,999\2093860.SLDPRT When the sheet is all generated, the tool tip shows a relative path. When I go back in and try to change it to absolute using "Edit Hyperlink" (just to see what would happen) it changes itself back. Thank You, -plh -- I keep hitting "Esc" -- but I'm still here! |

I'm guessing here.. can it be that you've defined a hyperlink base address for the workbook? see File/Properties, bottom of the Summary page has this field. if filled try clearing it. hth -- keepITcool | www.XLsupport.com | keepITcool chello nl | amsterdam plh wrote : When using this call: ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Range("A" & k), Address:=Range("A" & k).Value, TextToDisplay:=Range("A" & k).Value Is there a way to specify the absolute path, which is what is specified in Range("A" & k).Value?

The text displayed comes up as an absolute path. But the link itself is relative. This even thought the values plugged in are the same (Range("A" & k).Value).

Thank You, -plh I just noticed this: In the "Edit Hyperlink" subwindow, the both the "Text to display" text box and the "Type the file or Web Page name" show the relative path (example): \\engineering\Solidwork-n\ENGINEERING\00 - VAULT\Solidworks Files\COMPLETE\0-9\2230,000-2239,999\2239213.SLDPRT but what you see in the blue underlined text on the spreadsheet is the absolute path (example): N:\ENGINEERING\00 - VAULT\Solidworks Files\COMPLETE\0-9\2230,000-2239,999\2239213.SLDPRT This would not be a problem except that on other computers besides my own, Excel can't resolve the link.

I experienced the same problem. The way I fixed it is to create a trigger
event. Run a macro to write absolute path when the workbook is opened or worksheet is changed. "plh" wrote in message ... In article om, keepITcool says...
