Can't open Hyperlinks from another computer
I have made a spreadsheet that has Hyperlinks to another spreadshhet. The
Hyperlinks work fine on my PC but no one else can't link to the spreadsheet from his/her PC. When they link it says something like "the file name is not found.." In most cases Excel freezes as well. I put the spreadsheet with links on to a network so anybody can access the files. I noticed that the path I make is P:/Planning/Service Agreements... When I check the path on another PC it's ../Planning/sService Agreements... What is going on? I have Excel XP, the person who try's to look at the file has Excel 2000. Does this have anything to do with it? |

Hyperlinks work a bit differently between Excel 2000 and XP.
I suggest you try setting File / Properties / Summary / Hyperlink Base to the name of a non-existent server (e.g. \\NoServer\ ) See if that cures the problem (a) for new hyperlinks you make and (b) for the existing ones. If (a) but not (b) then remake the existing hyperlinks. If neither then make the hyperlinks using the HYPERLINK worksheet function instead.
