I've set the Startup Prompt value for the link to "Don't display the alert and update links" with an automatic update, intending for the files to be automatically updated when opened.

Operating system is Windows 2003 with MS Office 2003. We have numerous Excel workbooks with multiple spreadsheets in each.

One of the checks is to see if the link actually exist and if not report an error. Following is an excerpt of the VBA procedure: For Each h in Worksheets(curwksname).Hyperlinks If (Dir(h.Address) = “”) then ...

Setting up an Excel sheet to automatically determine when an employee should enter a retirement plan, perhaps What-If Analysis would help? Any other suggestions?
Perhaps a What-If analysis would help with this, but the situation that presents itself: For retirement plans, usually a person must work one year of 1,000 hours before that person can enter into the retirement plan as a participant. However, plans usually have set dates of entry, usually twice during the year. Therefore, a person enters on one of those entry dates subsequent to his attain...

saved files loses hyperlinks
We have an Excel spreadsheet on our network with working hyperlinks. One user moved it to his folder (still on the network) to make some changes. The hyperlinks still worked at this point. When he was done with changes, he did a "file save as" back to the original network location but the hyperlinks no longer work. I have looked at Security and drive mapping but cannot figure this on...

Excel LOOKUP Question
I have a need to do what I believe is called a two dimensional search. I want to populate a cell with the contents of a cell that exists at the intersection of a row and column each of which contains a known value. I've come to the conclusion that a combination of the HLOOKUP and MATCH functions should do it. However, I don't seem to be able to get it to work. Here are the real Excel ...

Excel: External Network Links
I've started creating reporting files on Excel 2003 which are shared via Mailsite 8.0 which link several files to one summary file. Currently the file works when I open it, but not when another person opens it from their computer.

Link shows formula instead of content of cell
In the same workbook, I created links from one worksheet to an other. For some of the cells (all in the same column), instead of seeing the content of the cell, I see the formula as in the formula bar. For example: In the cell D12 of a worksheet called 'Summary', I want to make a link to the value that appears in the cell D12 of the worksheet called 'Revenues - Retrieve'. The result that app...

Inserting Pictures onto a spreadsheet.
Hi All, I have been reading many posts about using code to insert pictures from a folder into an area of a spreadsheet and have made them work according to the many people who have posted here.
