The address could not be resolved because the strings taken from an Excel cell contained also blanks. After the blanks have been all removed, the hyperlink works fine. Re Resonse 2: Problem Solved.

Problem: my original link locations contains "." and "_" and blanks, e.g. =HYPERLINK("http://intranet.../ACT_8.01/act.txt";"Name") The original cell content e.g. is =Hyperlink (...Angola Telecom /ang .txt"; If I click Edit Hyperlink the Adress reads like Angola%20Telecom%20/ang%20.txt This address however cannot be resolved if I click the cell and funny enough, the %20 are not displayed as cell content. If I replace the %20 now with the Original character by means of the Hyperlink Editor, the link works fine! Question: what must be done in order to automate the conversion of many links like this by means of VBA? I tried to use the above excel formula. Problem: my original link locations contains “.” and “_” and blanks, e.g.

=HYPERLINK(“http://intranet…/ACT_8.01/act.txt”;”Name”)

The original cell content e.g. is =Hyperlink (…Angola Telecom /ang .txt”;

If I click Edit Hyperlink
the Adress reads like
Angola%20Telecom%20/ang%20.txt

This address however cannot be resolved if I click the cell and funny enough, the %20 are not displayed as cell content.

If I replace the %20 now with the Original character by means of the Hyperlink Editor, the link works fine!

Question: what must be done in order to automate the conversion of many links like this by means of VBA?
