I have a spreadsheet in excel 2007 that keeps resetting the hyperlinks. Every time I change them they get reset as soon as I change sheets in my workbook. Any help would be appreciated.

Certainly I have entered in hyperlinks they have become pointed to an incorrect location. I go through change them to the correct location, when I change sheets and change back again the hyperlinks have gone back to the incorrect location

Thanks for the information... A couple of additional questions if you don't mind:

  • So these links point to files on your computer (or network) or actual websites?
  • Are you the only user of the spreadsheet or do others have access to it?
Best regards,

Hello Oliver,

Wow, this is an old thread...

Not sure if you wanted to start your own topic, however, can you describe the actions taken that seem to cause the hyperlink to vanish?

Also, what version of Excel are you using?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.
I'm using Excel 2007.
The only actions prior to the hyperlink disappearing is that I test it. Sometimes it disappears after one test, sometimes after two or three tests.

Interesting...

So the text remains in the cell but the link becomes disabled? Is this a shared workbook or are you the only user?

I have similar problem. I put hyperlinks on cells to files in the same drive. However after some time (may be same day or after 3-4 days) hyperlinks start pointing to the same file itsel and not the intended file (where thay were set). This problem has started from last one month only, was not there earlier. Any Help.
