Morning all, hope someone can put me out of my misery.

I have many hyperlink calculations on an excel sheet that link to an external hard drive.

Example: in cell H134 =HYPERLINK("F:\Our Music\"& B134&"\"&C134&"\"&F134&".mp3") where B134 is a band name, C134 is the CD and F134 is the track name.

When I click on it it works fine (although there is a vert annoying harmful file warning) and opens the mp3 file in vlc which is exactly what I want.

Is there a way of opening multiple links at the same time using VBA. I have searched the internet and found a few options but none of them work. Ideally picking the files from various points as opposed to a range, although a range is better than one at a time.various

Thanks for any help you can offer
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
I have found a solution that allows me to open a range of cells with hyperlinks in them, is there a way to pick cells rather than only using a range?

Sub followLinks()
Dim c As Range
Dim WorkRng As Range
Dim xTitleId As String
Dim url As String
Dim i As Long

xTitleId = "Select a range to open"
Set WorkRng = Selection
Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox(xTitleId, xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type:=8)
If Not WorkRng Is Nothing Then
For Each c In WorkRng
If c.Hyperlinks.Count > 0 Then
For i = 1 To c.Hyperlinks.Count
c.Hyperlinks(i).Follow
Next i
ElseIf InStr(1, c.Formula, "HYPERLINK", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
If InStr(1, c.Formula, ",") > 0 Then
url = Evaluate(Left(c.Formula, InStr(1, c.Formula, ",") - 1) & ")")
Else
url = c.Value
End If
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=url
End If
Next
End If
End Sub


Thanks
