    Adding URL's to existing text "http://web" and not have it link to local files.

    I know how to add URLs to the entire column. The text located in that column each is a different website.

    It creates a link but the link goes to my C Drive and not the Internet. When I put that file online it still went to my web servers file locations.

    How do I make the link jump to the actual Internet.

    Hard to say without seeing what you are using?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    I know this is not your WB, but when I click that, it takes me there.

    Can you upload a small sample file?

    When adding the URL function it doesn't give me the option to go to the internet.
    everything looks toward my files

    I cannot replicate your problem When I click on those links, they take me to those sites

    If you just enter (copy) the data into the cell like that, excel recognizes that it is a link and pute the link in for you
