Ey, ok so i'm new so i don't know how to use the coding and i need help with hyperlinking.

i've copied the link address to a folder called "plans" and that is great but i want the hyperlink to open in the actual folder not the folder location. (imagine a hyperlink in excel that says 'click here to view files' and you could then browse the folder for files needed)

I also need to be able to hyperlink to access files within the folder
ie: plans.doc or building.pdf

i don't want the files to open within the actual excel doc, just for it to open as a separate thing

Screenshots or a basic explanation would be a huge help

Cheers; Dan
