Hi

Maybe there is some minor difference (additional space somewhere or
something alike)?

The foolproof way is: Create a hyperlink using Insert.Hyperlink from menu.
Continue with 'Browse for: File' and select your file. Then click on
Bookmark button - avaliable sheets in selected workbook are displayed.
Select your sheet, and edit the cell reference manually (by default it is
A1). Check the created hyperlink - when all is OK, then activate hyperlink
editor, copy the string from 'Type the file or page name' field, paste it
into Hyperlink function, and wrap it into quetes.

I think you dropped some double quotes:

=hyperlink("\\fil-....!K12","myLink")


More exactly, OE somehow did it - at start quotes were
there. I'm trying
again - the right formula will be:

=HYPERLINK("\\FIL-NW02-06\MPTTechTeamLeaders\8 Tech Team
Scorecard\Reddy
Team
Scorecards\2005_Define_Scorecard_Hixon.xls#'Scorec ard -
Tech
Group'!K12","MyLink")

This must work:

=HYPERLINK("\\FIL-NW02-06
\MPTTechTeamLeaders\8_Tech_Team_Scorecard\Reddy
Team
Scorecards\2005_Define_Scorecard_Hixson.xls#'Score card -
Tech

I tried this, here is the contents of the cell:

=HYPERLINK('\\FIL-NW02-06
\MPTTechTeamLeaders\8_Tech_Team_Scorecard\Reddy
Team
Scorecards\[2005_Define_Scorecard_Hixson.xls]
Scorecard -
Tech Group'!K12)

and I get the little hyperlink hand icon but when
I click
nothing happens.

Check out the HYPERLINK function.
Example:
=HYPERLINK("[C:\Temp\MyFile.xls]Data!$C$2","Test")
will show the word 'Test' in the cell. When
selected,
the hyperlink will
take you to the 'MYFILE' workbook, the 'Data'
worksheet,
cell C2.

I have a paste link cell in a spreadsheet,
referring to
a
source cell in another spreadsheet and cell. Is
there a
way in VBA to open that source spreadsheet
and "jump"
to
the source cell?
