Creating hyperlinks to network files
 

I am trying to create a macro so that I can click a button and
hyperlink is created, referencing a network location where the locatio
is dependent upon a value in another cell.

So for example, the hyperlink to be created in cell E3 would b
"=hyperlink("G:\General\Blah\Blah\"cell A9"\file.pdf")"

Also, I want the hyperlink text to just say "ABC"

How does this happen

=hyperlink("g:\general\blah\blah\" & A9 & "\file.pdf", "ABC")

The resulting hyperlink formula is:

=HYPERLINK("G:\Real Estate\Shared\Offline Packages\& D5
&\PCR.PDF","PCR")

and I need the "& D5 &" part to show the result of cell D5.

Here is the code as used:

Range("H9").FormulaR1C1 = _
"=HYPERLINK(""G:\Real Estate\Shared\Offline Packages\& D5
&\PCR.PDF"",""PCR"")"

Ah, you're populating the cell in code.

You may want to change the D5 to R5C4 since you're using R1C1 reference style
(or just use .formula).

And if you have trouble, you may need to make it look more like:

Range("H9").Formula = _
"=HYPERLINK(""file:////G:/Real Estate/Shared/Offline Packages/""" & _
"&D5&""/PCR.PDF"",""PCR"")"
