We're doing a file system upgrade, and changing our server names. Our drive
letters, however, will stay the same (I: and J:), but will be changing from something like: \\filesrv1\ABC$ to: \\filesrv2\ABC$ Subsequently, I have to help people sort out their links in Excel (and other Office apps), and update those to the new file server name. I ran a test, and using the same drive letter assigned to the new share does not do the trick - I get an error "Cannot start the source application for this object" for Links, and "The Address of this site is not valid. Check the address and try again." for hyperlinks. I've done some research, and the Excel VBA .LinkSources Method only reveals the drive letter. I need a method that will allow me to address (and change) the full file path (\\filesrv1\abc$\...). Using the .SourceName Method on an OLEObject also only reveals a string of the sort: "MSPhotoEd.3|J:\pictest\testpicture.JPG!"' On the Hyperlink side, the .Hyperlinks method only exposes "../../../abc$/pictest/testpic.jpg". It would be nice if there were a method (like in PPT) that would expose the "\\filesrv1" so that I could use the Replace function to change it. Does anyone have any help or experience they could share? Thanks in advance... |
