    Hyperlink to a sheet contained on another workbook

    Hi,

    I have tried placing a hyperlink in a cell on sheet1 workbook1 to sheet1 of workbook 2 however it opens the workbook but does not take me to the correct worksheet stating: Reference is not valid.

    Link is Abstractions.xls#Master for example

    Can you please advise.

    Thank you
