Hi,

(Sorry for the crossposting, but I felt this post applied to both
newsgroups...assuming excel.links means "hyperlinks")

I have an Excel worksheet with about 1000 rows. One of the columns contains
hyperlinks. The text of the hyperlink is the URL - IOW the displayed text
and hyperlink are the same.

When I add new data to the worksheet, I need to sort it by a particular
column. When I do so, some of the hyperlinks are removed. The text is
still blue, underlined, proper font, but the hyperlink is gone (it's a very
hard problem to find).

This happens in both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007.

Has anyone ever seen this behavior, and know of a workaround?

Alternatively, is there an Excel function that will create a hyperlink from
the text in a cell? If so, can you also provide the VB code to:

* spin thru all the rows in the workbook
* for the text in column <whatever, apply the <function to the cell value
to convert it to a hyperlink

Sorry, while I'm a programmer and can follow and modify VB code, I'm not
fluent in VB so find it hard to create from scratch.

Thanks for the help!

Cheers,
Scott
