    Automatically create hyperlink in active cell when creating folders

    Hello,

    I borrowed and tweaked the code below to fit my needs. However, I would like to add one more feature.

    When I hit my button to create a new folder, is it possible to have the code automatically create a hyperlink to the folder too??

    I am sure this type of question has been asked already, but I cannot easily find exactly what I need and I am way too new with VBA to figure it out.

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

    I just tried it.

    It does not create a link to the exact folder that I am creating. The second time I tried it it overwrote my cell contents with the word "Link"

    Hi,

    Untested is good that it ran at all - what happens when you click on "Link" - and isn't it being placed beyond the used columns?

    Try:

    Happy Monday xladept.

    After I spent a weekend away from my sheet I decided that I am making the simple difficult.

    I included a secondary column to my sheet next to my column where the folder name is generated. So your first code you sent me creates what I need. Thank you again.
