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. E.g.\\server\share\folder\file123.pdf and so on. 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.
