I want to create a hyperlink to a cell I hae just put some updated text in,
here is my code...
it runs down the first collumn looking to match a name, when found then puts
the values in the cells. All fine, but now I want to add a hyperlink to that
cell.
This code is within a WITH block for the destination sheet.

ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Sheets("Changes").Cells(y, 1), _
Address:=.Cells(yds, xds), TextToDisplay:=name

I ended up with the link looking for file called EX0009 which is actually
the contents of cell .Cells(yds,xds)
What I actually want is a link to this cell.
I may create hundreds of such links.
TIA

Graham,

Take a look at this sample code and you can adjust according to your needs.
This will create a hyperlink in A1 of the activesheet that will take you to
A1 of Sheet2.

With ActiveSheet
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=.Range("A1"), Address:="",
SubAddress:="Sheet2!A1", TextToDisplay:="Click Me!"
End With

Hope that helps.

Am I going to have to convert my .cells() to a string value for the address?
Is there an easy way to do that? In the past I have used...

a = Asc("@")
b = Chr(a + (x \ 26)) & Chr(a + (x Mod 26))
where x was my column number.

....to get the letters of the colum part of the address.
and then concatenated this to the rest of the address.

You can use the Address property:

..Cells(yds, xds).Address

To make it include the workbook and sheet name, you can use:

..Cells(yds,xds).address(External:=True)

I had tried using .Address, but failed. The cell is on a different worksheet
is in the same file. just using .Cells(yds,xds).Address created a link the
right cell but on the same sheet as the hyperlink, not quite what I was after.

even using SubAddress:=Sheets("Detail Sheet").Cells(yds, xds).Address points
to a cell on the "Changes" sheet wher ethe hyperlink is.

Using External:=True works, but it seems a bit excessive to make it think it
is an external link.

Thanks, for the help and quick responses.

For your purpose, you'll need to set External=True. If you don't like doing
it that way, you can try:

SubAddress:= "'" & .Name & "'!" & .Cells(yds, xds).Address

or like this

SubAddress:="'Detail Sheet'!" & .Cells(yds, xds).Address
