Hyperlink not working

[rodolform]

I'm working with Excel 2002 and what to make a hyperlink into anothe
xls file using the hyperlink function, I use this string:
("[C:\Documents and Settings\Al
Users\Documents\november.xls]daily",("daily file"))

where november.xls is the file I want to open and daily is the specifi
worsheet, daily file is what apears on the hyperlink, when I hit th
Hyperlin it does open the november file but does not take me to th
daily worksheet and opens a "Reference is not valid" sign, I have mak
sure that the daily Ws exists and have tried with other WS in the sam
file with the same results.

I have tried with the insert function but is worst because th
hypelinks does not work at all.

Thanks in advance.

Rodolfo,

It appears that you need to define a cell - name it
anything you wish - on your target spreadsheet. Say
you name cell A1 "Target", then your link line would read
=hyperlink("[C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents\november.xls]Target",("daily file"))
It should take you there with no error message.
(I could not get the link to use the worksheet name alone
at all, either.)

You are missing the exclamation point

=HYPERLINK("[h:\excel2k\testng2k.xls]sheet3!a1","SHEET3")
=HYPERLINK("[c:\temp folder\xyz abc.xls]'Sheet One'!$C$5","Sheet One")

for something closer to what you need see
Worksheets in VBA Coding and in Worksheet Formulas

try something like the following:
=hyperlink("[C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\November.xls]daily!A1", "daily file")
