HYPERLINK to a doc with a "#" in the name
I'm trying to add a hyperlink in excel to a pdf document that has a "#" in
the title such as 2359, #0006.pdf I've tried replacing the "#" with %23, which was suggested to me, but does not seem to work. |

HYPERLINK to a doc with a "#" in the name
How are you trying to insert the hyperlink? With the =HYPERLINK() function?
Via the Insert menu? Give us some more information on how you're trying to get this done, what error(s) you are getting, etc. Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit.

HYPERLINK to a doc with a "#" in the name
I've been trying to insert the hyperlink using both the =HYPERLINK() function
and Insert Hyperlink from the Insert menu (then navigating to the specific file). My hyperlink function looks something like this: =HYPERLINK("F:\Group\No #, Q41159.pdf","click here") The error message I'm getting is: "cannot open the specified file" "Dave F" wrote: How are you trying to insert the hyperlink?

Perhaps the PDF file is corrupted? What happens when you try to open the
file from Windows explorer or internet explorer? Can you open it then? -- Brevity is the soul of wit.

I think you'll have to rename the file.
