Links

A few weeks ago, all of the hyperlinks in one of my Excel files mysteriously broke. For example, I have over 5,000 links which point to files on a network share.

These hyper links now point to c: users user.name application data file123.pdf. Here is some context and troubleshooting I have done: • I have verified that the original UNC path is still in tact • If I delete and recreate any of the Hyperlinks they work properly • This file is accessed by 3-4 users, all which are using Microsoft Office 2010 SP1 32 bit • The server that hosts the file share is running Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit Please help.
