hyperlinks in excel2002 won't save correctly
Hi All,
I'm having problems keeping hyperlink paths when i save an excel file as html. The hyperlink works fine in excel: links to a pdf "file:///\\server\share\folder\file.pdf" but when saved as html it is just saved as "folder/file.pdf" I'm using the html on a webserver so need the entire path. I tried unselecting 'update links on exit' under toolsoptionsgeneralweb options, but still the same. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Alastair |

I don't know if it will help with this problem, but some problems with
relative links are solved by File Properties Summary Hyperlink Base : \\SomeJunkServer\JunkFolder This forces hyperlinks to the same server as the file is saved on to be saved as absolute. Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - respond to newsgroup |

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, unfortunately it still will not work, the HTML code for each link still reads: href="folder/file.pdf" Cheers though, Alastair.

If so all we need is to fix up any existing hyperlinks which should be possible using some code. Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - respond to newsgroup |

Cheers Bill,
With your help I've now solved the problem. I was saving the individual sheet as html rather than the 'entire workbook'. With the hyperlink base in place the link in html reads correctly: a href="file:///\\server\folder\file.pdf"file/a "Bill Manville" wrote: Alastair wrote: unfortunately it still will not work, the HTML code for each link still reads: href="folder/file.pdf" If you create a new hyperlink, with the hyperlink base set as I suggested, does it come out right?
