Links not working
Hello Everyone,
I have a user who is running Excel 2003. He has a sheet that is nothing but hyper links and notes about what those links are. When a doc is linked and the document saved the link is no longer working. Here is what the link looks like before and after save. P:\P05502\05201-0000\ENGINEERING\ACEP_5201_Final.pdf .../../M2M/m2mdata01/PROJECTS/P05502/05201-0000/ENGINEERING/ACEP_5201_Final.pdf P:\ is a mapped drive but navigating through the network for the link casuses the same problem. Anyone have any idea why this is not working? LWhite |

Links not working
Hi,
does the user running Excel 2003 have the same network disk under P:? Lets assume that P: points to \\server\share Try to change links before you hand the workbook to the user this way: instead of P:\P05502\05201-0000\ENGINEERING\ACEP_5201_Final.pdf use \\server\share\P05502\05201-0000\ENGINEERING\ACEP_5201_Final.pdf Maybe it will help.

Links not working
We are havivg the same problem, however when the spreadsheet is saved to a
local drive it works fine. In other words, when the spreadsheet is opened from a mapped drive the links read .../.../server/folder/document. When the spreadsheet is openned from a local drive the links read file///\\server\folder\document. Any ideas folks? n"iL.White" wrote: Hello Everyone, I have a user who is running Excel 2003.
