Unable to open xlsm file by hyperlink

$

0

I am using the hyperlink function in a cell previously in Excel 2003

It looks like this: =HYPERLINK("X:\invoices\invoicenr.xls";"invoicenr")

In Excel 2013 I changed it to this:

 =HYPERLINK("X:\invoices\invoicenr.xlsx";"invoicenr")

That worked flawless.

Because I needed a macro enabled invoicesheet I changed the format and thus the hyperlink formula to this:

 =HYPERLINK("X:\invoices\invoicenr.xlsm";"invoicenr")

But clicking the hyperlink now results in the folowing dialog screen:

"Some files contain viruses or can be dangerous to your computer. Are you sure you want to open this file ? OK Cancel " (I translated the above from Dutch because I use a Dutch Excel version)

When I click OK nothing happens and the program more or less hangs.

I tried to change options in the security centre etc. but nothing works.

The files I try to open is on the network.

Anyone have a solution ? Thanks in advance,

Ton
