Default Setting Excel hyperlink base in VBA

I am running Excel 2003.

I have many .xls files, each of which has many HYPERLINK calls.
e.g.
<=HYPERLINK("http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?la
nguage=en&sessionID=0&itdDate="&$A$2&"&type_origin =stop&name_origin="&D3
5&"&type_destination=stop&name_destination="&E35&I F(A35<"","&itdTripDat
eTimeDepArr=arr&itdTime="&A35),"Trip")

Occasionally, such calls are too long and "#VALUE!" is rendered rather
than "Trip". [HYPERLINK has an undocumented restriction of about 255
characters on the length of its first (link_location) argument.

If I write "http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/" to
File\Properties\Summary\Hyperlink base: and remove it from my HYPERLINK
call so it is shortened to
<=HYPERLINK("XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en&sessio nID=0&itdDate="&$A$2&"
&type_origin=stop&name_origin="&D35&"&type_destina tion=stop&name_destina
tion="&E35&IF(A35<"","&itdTripDateTimeDepArr=arr& itdTime="&A35),"Trip")

The shorter HYPERLINK call is rendered as "Trip".

Hyperlink base must be a path. e.g. If it is written as "http://journeyp
lanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en&sessionID=0",
anything after the last backslash [XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en&sessio
nID=0] is ignored.

How do I use VBA to set the data, displayed by File\Properties\Summary\H
yperlink base:

I tried recording a macro to do this. It contained no relevant
information.
I had a similar failure with a macro recording a HYPERLINK call.
I have also tried Google Groups and Google itself without success.
Even <http://www.cpearson.com/excel/mainpage.aspx has nothing to say
about HYPERLINK calls.
