Hi,

I have an excel sheet that contains a column that is a hyperlink. For example, a value may be 'Benefits Document, then when you click on it, it will take you to a URL like 'http://myHumanResourcesServer/directory/Beneifts/benefits.doc'. Is there anyway I can extract this URL? I have another application in which I need to get the filename of each of these documents located at the end of the URL's

thanks,

dhx
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Sub HlinksA()
'List all of the selected hyperlinks properties!
'Note: Select a cell next to the H-Link & use the cursor to slide into its cell.
'Then run this code to show that links properties!

Dim hyp As Hyperlink

Set hyp = Selection.Hyperlinks(1)
MsgBox "Address ==> " & hyp.Address & vbCr & _
"Name ==> " & hyp.Name & vbCr & _
"Parent ==> " & hyp.Parent & vbCr & _
"Creator ==> " & hyp.Creator & vbCr & _
"Text ==> " & hyp.TextToDisplay & vbCr & _
"Application ==> " & hyp.Application.Value

End Sub
