Morning,
ON my worksheet in column P i have invoice numbers.
These will have been hyperlinked to its invoice pdf in a folder on my pc.
Now & then like today when i click on an invoice number i see a message pop up saying CANNOT OPEN THE SPECFIED FILE.

I have looked at the hyperlink when broken & i see this.
.\..\..\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\DR%20COPY%20INVOICES\24.pdf

I then apply the hyperlink to it so its then working again & then i see this.
C:\Users\Ian\Desktop\REMOTES ETC\DR\DR COPY INVOICES\24.pdf

Now i have at least 150 plus that are broken so is there a way to do a batch hyperlink ?

Any advise as to why this is also happening.



All the invoices are in the path shown below.
C:\Users\Ian\Desktop\REMOTES ETC\DR\DR COPY INVOICES

Then its just 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf etc etc

Thanks

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
If it helps you i use the following code of which i select the invoice number in the cell to hyperlink it.

Maybe it can be edited to just hyperlink each cell without me having to click each one ?
Thanks

Private Sub HyperlinkInvoiceNumber_Click()
        Const FILE_PATH As String = "C:\Users\Ian\Desktop\REMOTES ETC\DR\DR COPY INVOICES\"
    If ActiveCell.Column = Columns("P").Column Then
        If Len(Dir(FILE_PATH & ActiveCell.Value & ".pdf")) Then
            ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=ActiveCell, Address:=FILE_PATH & ActiveCell.Value & ".pdf"
            MsgBox "HYPERLINK WAS SUCCESSFUL.", vbExclamation, "HYPERLINKING THE INVOICE NUMBER"
        Else
            ActiveCell.Hyperlinks.Delete
            MsgBox (FILE_PATH & ActiveCell.Value & ".pdf" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "FILE IS NOT IN FOLDER SPECIFIED, PLEASE CHECK PATH IS CORRECT"), vbCritical
        End If
    Else
        MsgBox "PLEASE SELECT AN INVOICE NUMBER.", vbExclamation, "HYPERLINKING THE INVOICE NUMBER"
    End If

End Sub
