Okay. I am creating hyperlinks to photographs in an excel spreadsheet. What
I need to know is this: How can I make it so that the integrity of the links
hold up even when the file is taken from my computer and used on a different
machine (ie: handheld). I'm assuming that when I move the file, I also need
to move the folder with the pictures over as well. However, I'm concerned
the files will be too large or that this won't work.

There has got to be an easier way to do this! Anyone?

I'm sorry. Your question doesn't make sense to me. If you're concerned about
file size, how can you expect to "maintain links" on a handheld if you don't
port the pictures to the handheld? I'm not a handheld user, but it's like
asking if you can email me a spreadsheet with links to pictures on YOUR
computer, and expecting me to be able to see them? What am I missing? I
don't mean to sound obtuse. :)

You basically just repeated everything I said. I was just wondering if there
was any other way of doing it. My boss seems to think there is and I am
reaching as far out as I can just to make sure there isn't before I explain
to him that my approach is the best. My intention is to port the pictures to
the handheld but he thinks that is not efficient enough. And its not like I
can put them on a server, as we are using the handhelds out in the middle of
nowhere to collect data.

Thanks for you reply. The affirmation is good enough for me.

Are the photos already in an Excel spreadsheet? If so, why not add
another sheet in there with hyperlinks to the photos? You can use the
=HYPERLINK function and include the filename, so that as long as you
save it with the same name it should work on both. Then you only have
one file to deal with.

Hope this helps.
