hyperlinks

Sieka · Feb 25th, 2002, 01:21 AM

In a worksheet with different hyperlinks that I have made, I have the following problem:

All hyperlinks to Word-, Excel- and PDF-files work without problems, but all hyperlinks to html-files (that are saved on our network) do not work.
The destination for the hyperlink is for example
\serversharepathdocument.html
When I click on this hyperlink in my Excel worksheet, Internet Explorer is opened but with the Address
\servershare
only, so that IE cannot display the page

Can somebody tell me how to solve this problem?

Thanks
Sieka

can you open them normally via IE or is it just when you try to open them via Excel's hyperlink ?

Do you know the assigned Drive letter to
the network drive ??
eg Y:shared

If so then try using this in the hyperlink OR
try assigning the drive via mapping the network drive in Explorer. ie. Use a Drive
letter and not the UNC drive
