Worked great. I use J. Walkenbach's PUP utilities to create an index when I"m giving a client a large number of files. works great but the drive gets hard coded into the hyperlink. so when the index and related files get moved to a thumb drive (for the client), the hyperlinks fail. what i will do now is just ask them to enter a drive number and then adjust the hyperlink formula to make the index work on the drive letter associated with the thumb drive.</p> Thanks much for the tip.

I'm using Excel 2007 and I'm inserting a hyperlink that will direct the user to go to another worksheet in the spreadsheet, but when I e-mail it to someone or try to access it from another computer the hyperlink does not work. The hyperlink is pointing to my local drive with my user id. I only want the hyperlink to point the worksheet, so I can e-mail the spreadsheet out and the hyperlink to work on any computer. Right now, I can only use the spreadsheet on my local drive.</p> <p>It appears that the hyperlink automatically creates the hyperlink to the c: drive. How do you change the hyperlink to only point to the worksheet with no reference to a temp file on the local drive?</p> I’m frustrated.

My hyperlinks seem to be getting corrupted I have rewritten them, but sooner or latter they change from relative to absolute and stop working.</p> How can you change the hyperlink from an absolute to a relative?
