Hi,

I have set up my own stock control with Purchase orders. Using a VBA I save the PO to a register and also save a pdf copy to another folder. i would like to open the PDF from the Register using a hyperlink (this i have completed), but it only opens the folder with the PO's listed. How can I get it to open the specific PDF linked with the number. Have i done something wrong in the code.

Sub AddHyperlinks()


Dim lastRow As Long
Dim myPath As String, fileName As String




myPath = "C:\shared folder\purchases\orders" 'SET TO WHERE THE FILES ARE LOCATED
lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row


For i = 2 To lastRow


fileName = myPath & Range("A" & i).Value & "*.pdf"

If Len(Dir(myPath)) <> 0 Then 'IF THE FILE EXISTS THEN

ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Range("A" & i), myPath

End If

Next


End Sub

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Code:
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Range("A" & i), [B][COLOR=#ff0000]myPath[/COLOR][/B]

Can you try the code, using fileName instead of myPath
