Using paste link infromation in cell to hyperlink to source cell?

[Wayne]

I have a paste link cell in a spreadsheet, referring to a
source cell in another spreadsheet and cell. Is there a
way in VBA to open that source spreadsheet and "jump" to
the source cell?

Check out the HYPERLINK function.
Example:
=HYPERLINK("[C:\Temp\MyFile.xls]Data!$C$2","Test")
will show the word 'Test' in the cell. When selected, the hyperlink will
take you to the 'MYFILE' workbook, the 'Data' worksheet, cell C2.

I tried this, here is the contents of the cell:

=HYPERLINK('\\FIL-NW02-06
\MPTTechTeamLeaders\8_Tech_Team_Scorecard\Reddy Team
Scorecards\[2005_Define_Scorecard_Hixson.xls]Scorecard -
Tech Group'!K12)

and I get the little hyperlink hand icon but when I click
nothing happens.

This must work:
=HYPERLINK(\\FIL-NW02-06\MPTTechTeamLeaders\8_Tech_Team_Scorecard\Reddy
Team Scorecards\2005_Define_Scorecard_Hixson.xls#'Scorecard - Tech
Group'!K12,"MyLink")

I think you dropped some double quotes:

=hyperlink("\\fil-....!K12","myLink")

Hi

I think you dropped some double quotes:

=hyperlink("\\fil-....!K12","myLink")

More exactly, OE somehow did it - at start quotes were there. I'm trying
again - the right formula will be:

=HYPERLINK("\\FIL-NW02-06\MPTTechTeamLeaders\8 Tech Team Scorecard\Reddy
Team Scorecards\2005_Define_Scorecard_Hixon.xls#'Scorecard - Tech
Group'!K12","MyLink")

Hi

Maybe there is some minor difference (additional space somewhere or
something alike)?

The foolproof way is: Create a hyperlink using Insert.Hyperlink from menu.
Continue with 'Browse for: File' and select your file. Then click on
Bookmark button - avaliable sheets in selected workbook are displayed.
Select your sheet, and edit the cell reference manually (by default it is
A1). Check the created hyperlink - when all is OK, then activate hyperlink
editor, copy the string from 'Type the file or page name' field, paste it
into Hyperlink function, and wrap it into quetes.
