Hyperlinks

[Sam Goddard]

Hi

I use excel for my accounts & have used a column of hyperlinks to store
paths to scanned images of my invoices. However, recently, this system has
stopped working so well. When I click on a hyperlink I get the message 'Some
files can contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your computer. It is
important to be certain that this file is from a trustworthy source.

Would you like to open this file?'

When I click 'Yes', nothing happens.

I'm not sure why this warning box began to open up, but could you tell me
why I cannot open my files any more, is there a patch that I've installed
that is stopping this? (I'm using Excel 2003 11.6355.6360 SP1

How can I turn off this warning on hyperlinks?

Thanks

Sam

Maybe you installed windows XP service pack 2?
Try to uninstall that to see if it works?

I did install Service Pack 2 but I did this a while ago & the hyperlinks
have worked well since then. Furthermore, I am not inclined to uninstall the
service pack.

Finally, the message is an Excel-generated one rather than a windows one so
I do not think that uninstalling the service pack will change things.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

The hyperlinks in my Excel 2003 worksheets are working fine with Windows
SP2. Try deleting one of your hyperlinks, then add it back in and see if
it works.
