It may sound stupid but I am lost.
I have a worksheet that acts as a register of assorted documents ie word, pdf etc. All documents recieve a number from the register which is shown on the excel workbook. I now want to create a link to the raw document which is saved from email or raw in the same folder on the network drive. I am having issues of the hyperlink working but then when I try it again it seems to fall over. |

You have to be careful with hyperlinking to files-
"H:\SDLS Daily Errors\2005-03-04.doc" Is OK as a filename, but H:\SDLS Daily Errors\2005-03-25 to 28 #1.doc Is not! XL/VBA can't handle the "#" character. Your best bet is to remove all "unusual" characters from the filename or create a shortcut to the file using, say "00000000.doc" and increment this for each new file, else use the register number! -- | +--Thief_ | "Mark" wrote in message ...

thanks for the help as i was using # in the name.
I seem to still be having problems as I am wanting to get the excel to link to a file that eventually I will be putting on cd so the drive letter etc will change. All files etc are contained within the same folder so I want to link internally if you like instead of going via the drive. "Mark" wrote: It may sound stupid but I am lost.

An oft discussed topic, but not one that I have had much interest in.
Try reading through these links: http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?as...el.*&lr=&hl=en the link should all be placed on one line (in notepad perhaps) and then pasted into the navigation window of your browser. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Mark" wrote in message ... thanks for the help as i was using # in the name.
