    Hyperlinks not working when the spreadsheet is moved

    Hi All

    Using MS Excel 2010.

    From my limited experience and asking work colleagues the following should not happen but it is............what am I missing?

    As I understand it hyperlinks set in a spreadsheet should work regardless of where you save and/or copy the spreadsheet i.e. as long as the directory location of the location / file the hyperlink is referencing doesn't change (notwithstanding, the user must have appropriate access rights to the relevant directory locations)

    However, the situation I have is the spreadsheet was generated and saved to directory location A (intention being this would be the 'master' yearly template) and the hyperlinks set, all of which work when you open the spreadsheet in this directory location. But when I copy the spreadsheet to directory location B, which is intended to be the yearly 'register' location for the spreadsheet, none of the hyperlinks work? When I hold my cursor over a link in the copied spreadsheet, in directory B, I do not get a 'pop-up' path like I do in directory A and when I click a link I get an error message:

    Microsoft Excel
    The address of this site is not valid. Check the address and try again.



    As stated above the documents the hyperlinks relate to have not moved, they remain in the same template directory (i.e. the link path has not altered)

    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

    Cheers
    Brett

    Try right-click on the Hyperlink and go into "Edit Hyperlink" and check that all the locations are current.
