Need Help -FAST - Microsoft Excel Hyperlink Problem

Can someone please help me with Microsoft Excel. I have never had a problem activating a hyperlink, and I've been using Excel for a number of years. All of a sudden I receive a popup that says "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." I am the only person using is PC. I am running Windows XP/Pro and the version of Excel is 2003.

Can someone please help?

Hi

I'm running Windows XP/Pro and Excel 2002, and I too have a hyperlink problem

I've tried to use the =hyperlink function in excel but I'm not sure how the pathname should be written.

We have two computers on a network, imaginatively named PC1 & PC3 (PC2 was retired sometime ago). An excel file sites on PC1, as do the documents we want to link to. We need to be able to open the excel file and the links from PC3. Both relative file paths and setting the file root in excel have not worked. I saw that the =hyperlink function was suggested as a solution to similar problems and thought I'd give it a shot.

I have tried a variety of pathnames in the =hyperlink function but always receive the error "Cannot open the specified path".

I searched the web but couldn't find anything that described how to write the file path correctly in excel. Can anyone tell me the correct syntax?

Cheers

David
