l'm looking for help on how to create a significant number of hyperlinks
(500+) that will go across worksheets. The hyperlink will be based upon an
item# in one worksheet and it will need to find it's matching item# on
another worksheet. The worksheets are oriented differently so it seems some
type of lookup would be needed. Any help would be very appreciated.

How about an alternative?

Use a macro that searches sheet2 column A and if it finds a match, it goes
there.

I'd drop a button from the forms toolbar in Row 1 of sheet1--and make row 1
always visible (window|freeze panes)

Then assign this macro to that button. (The code depends on where the
activecell is.)

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()
Dim myRng As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Dim res As Variant

With Worksheets("sheet2")
Set myRng = .Range("a:a")
End With

Set myCell = ActiveCell.EntireRow.Cells(1)

res = Application.Match(myCell.Value, myRng, 0)

If IsError(res) Then
Beep
Else
Application.Goto myRng(res), scroll:=True
End If

End Sub
