    Hyperlink formula help

    Hello,

    I am having a problem with a hyperlink formula that I can't seem to get to work.

    The hyperlink is.... =HYPERLINK("W:\Mapping\Map Scans\T36N, R5W\Map #"&A95&".pdf")

    Here is what it says in excel in the cell..... W:\Mapping\Map Scans\T36N, R5W\Map #143.pdf

    Every time I try the hyperlink I get a error that says. "Cannot open specified file."

    Any ideas on what is wrong?

    Thanks,

    Catlon

    Try it this way instead...

    Insert tab/Links/Hyperlink
    follow the directions to find your file
    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

    Regards

    hmm I just tried it and it worked.

    Did the window open up to "insert HL"?
    Link to: Existing web page
    Look in: find your file here
    or try typing what you showed
    W:\Mapping\Map Scans\T36N, R5W\Map #"&A95&".pdf

    unfortunately i'm afraid i have wasted your time. I don't think it is a hyperlink function problem.

    I can link to any other files anywhere on our system except ones saved from a specific computer so im guessing there is a permission issue instead.

    Sorry,
