Hyperlink Question

Guest

I am changing Location Names in Column A by Row Number. Each Location in
Column A has a hyperlink to a worksheet. I am also changing the worksheet
name.
When I do this, the hyperlink breaks.

I need to update the hyperlink in Column A to the new name of the worksheet.
Example. The old location name in Column A, Row 16 may be Richmond, VA.
A16 is also a hyperlink to a worksheet named Richmond, VA.
When I change A16 to Baltimore, MD, the worksheet Richmond, VA is changed to
Baltimore, MD, but the hyperlink in A16 no longer functions. I need to update
the hyperlink in A16 to the new worksheet name to go to Baltimore, MD.

PLEASE HELP!

Here is the code I'm using to change the names...

RowNum = Application.InputBox(prompt:="What is the Row Number of the
Location You Want to Change?", Type:=2)
FranNum = Application.InputBox(prompt:="What is the Franchise Number You
Want to Use?", Type:=2)
LabelName = Application.InputBox(prompt:="What is the Franchise Name You
Want To Use?", Type:=2)

Sheets("Summary Report of Revenue").Select '<<= Where Location Names Are

If RowNum = "0" Then
'do nothing
Else

Cells((RowNum), 1).Select
OldLabelName = Cells((RowNum), 1).Value


Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False

Cells((RowNum), 2).Select

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = (FranNum)
'Range("A10").Select
Cells((RowNum), 1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = (LabelName)
'Range("A10").Select
Cells((RowNum), 1).Select
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True
Sheets(OldLabelName).Select
Sheets(OldLabelName).Name = (LabelName)

Sheets("Summary Report of Revenue").Select
Cells((RowNum), 2).Select
Sheets("Summary Report of Revenue").Cells((RowNum), 2).Hyperlinks.Add
Cells((RowNum), 2), "", (LabelName), "My Hyperlink "

Don't know what I'm doing with the last line.....

Why not use INDIRECT for the hyperlink?
=HYPERLINK(INDIRECT(D14&"!a1"))
or to goto
=HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDIRECT("'"&D14&"'!A1")),D14)
The rest could use a bit of pruning.

RowNum = Application.InputBox(prompt:="What is the Row Number of the
Location You Want to Change?", Type:=2)
FranNum = Application.InputBox(prompt:="What is the Franchise Number You
Want to Use?", Type:=2)
LabelName = Application.InputBox(prompt:="What is the Franchise Name You
Want To Use?", Type:=2)

Sheets("Summary Report of Revenue").Select '<<= Where Location Names Are

If RowNum = <> 0 Then

OldLabelName = Cells((RowNum), 1).Value

Columns("B").Hidden = False

Cells((RowNum), 2)= (FranNum)
Cells((RowNum), 1)= (LabelName)

'etc
Cells((RowNum), 1).Select
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True
Sheets(OldLabelName).Select
Sheets(OldLabelName).Name = (LabelName)

Sheets("Summary Report of Revenue").Select
Cells((RowNum), 2).Select
Sheets("Summary Report of Revenue").Cells((RowNum), 2).Hyperlinks.Add
Cells((RowNum), 2), "", (LabelName), "My Hyperlink "

I "cleaned up" the section you showed me..thanks!
I'm confused about how to use the =HYPERLINK(INDIRECT(D14&"!a1")) though.
It's not in the code anywhere. Is this a function or does it go in the VBA
code? And what is the D14 referring to? THanks so much for helping me with
this...it's the LAST thing I need to get to work!

I got it working using this:
=HYPERLINK("[Book1]June!A1", "A1")
Is there any way to get rid of the workbook name as it changes every month?
Thanks again!
Gold star for you!

Didn't I give an example of using indirect?

I'm using the second indirect statement but still getting "The address of
this site is not valid. Check the address and try again."

Is there something I am not doing right for the "address" part of the
function? I left it as "address". Should I have put something else in the
quotes?

Thanks again!

This has created another problem.
Since the hyperlink is a formula now, my macro is not following the
hyperlink to the sheet. I recorded what does work, but can't get the syntax
right to use the variable I need. Can you help me with this last little piece?
This is what I had before using your formula:
Cells((RowNum), 1).Select
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True

This is what I recorded that works, but has the fixed name in it:
Application.Goto Reference:="'Me, FL'!R1C1"

I need to replace "Me, FL with the "OldLabelName Variable".

This is what I tried....but it bombs:
Application.Goto Reference:="'(OldLabelName)' & !R1C1"

Thanks so much again!

I figured it out...I used:
Application.Goto Reference:=Worksheets(OldLabelName).Range("A1"), _
scroll:=True

Thanks again! What a relief!!
