I've got a spreadsheet listing details of reports, which are named
sequentially. e.g. report_01, report_02 etc.

The files are named similarly, and i'd like the doucment names to link to
the files

So what i'd like to do is "series fill" the hyperlinks. i.e. if i link
report_01 to the location of "report_01.doc", then the other cells can be
filled in automaticlly just changing the last 2 characters of the filename.

Is there a way to do this, or to set up a formula which correlates the link
location to a string in a cell, adding relevant bits (i.e. c:/folder/ and
..doc)

many thanks for any replies.
