Hyperlink
Hi,
I'm working with Excel 2003. I have a workbook (created with Excel 97) which contains hyperlink to external files (Word, and PDF files). When I click to a hyperlink, nothing happens. Same thing when trying to modify a hyperlink. Moreover, when I'm trying to create a new one, with "Insert/Hyperlink" menu, I'm selecting an external document but the "ok" button still remains disabled so I can't create this link. Any idea ? Thanks Chris

Do you have worksheet protection turned on, I expect that
would cause things to be grayed (or greyed) out. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/grayedout.htm --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "chris" wrote in message ...

Is the workbook shared, see
look for topic "Limitations of shared workbooks" in Help I don't know if you would somehow have the workbook shared in Excel 2003 and not in Excel 2002. From my Excel 2000 help, I see.... In a shared workbook you cannot ... Insert or change charts, pictures, objects, or hyperlinks. Use the drawing tools. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Chris" wrote in message ...

my workbook is not shared.
Moreover, if I open the workbook on Excel 2002, I can modify or create hyperlinks. This is not possible with my Excel 2003. That's why I think it's an option somewhere in Excel.... thanks for help chris

Sorry for the piecemeal things, but from what you had originally stated
this did not seem to be the problem, but you might as well check this also, though I can't imagine it affecting menus. For those with Excel XL (Excel 2002) you can suppress hyperlink generation under the Auto Correct from the Tools menu. Tools (menu), Autocorrect Options, Autoformat as you type (Tab). --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Chris" wrote in message ... my workbook is not shared.
