Hyperlink to folder not opening
Hello
I am trying to create and hyperlink to a folder programatically (hyperlink.add) Although everything seems to be correct (correct address, etc) clicking the hyperlink doesn't do anything (I would have expected the folder to open a windows explorer). Any idea ? Regards -alexT |

Hyperlink to folder not opening
Hi alexT, have a look at this previous thread, just search for it Workbook Cell as Target of Hyperlink Object Thanks for the pointer. As it appears my code is fine - it is just that Excel does not launch an Explorer window when clicking on an hyperlink. It does launch a file target fine but not a folder, for some reason... Any idea ? --alexT |

If you insert the hyperlink manually, then click it, does it work ?
You have read permission on that folder ? NickHK "AlexT" wrote in message oups.com...

What is the length of the path ? Is this post in this NG connected to your problem ? File exists but cannot open from Excel A dozen characters.. so not a problem with length. Again this is only happening with folders, not files... I suspect some security setting on the Explorer side. Regards alex |

How about sharing the code that fails?
The name of the path that fails? The version of windows that you're running? The version of excel that you're running? Maybe someone can test it under the same conditions.
