Updating Worksheet Links
Question:
I am busy moving hundreds of excel files to a new location. The only problem is the work sheets have links to external excel files. Unfortunately we cannot keep the same directory structure (long story) so the links will be invalid.Is there a way to programmatically update the links in Excel. Any help would be appreciated.
Answer:
You might be able to accomplish this via OLE. Here is a link to Excels OLE Object Model:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbaxl10/html/xlproLinkFormat.asp
You might want to look into 'hyperlink': http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vbaxl10/html/xlproHyperlinks.asp?frame=true
Here is some code that seems to work for me:
newpath = "????"
XLS = "C:\temp\linked.xls"
objXL=ObjectOpen("Excel.Application")
objXL.Visible=@TRUE ;Change to @FALSE to hide
objXL.UserControl=@TRUE
objWBK=objXL.Workbooks
objWBK.Open(XLS)
oActWrkbk = objXL.ActiveWorkBook
ForEach objhyperlink In oActWrkbk.Worksheets(1).Hyperlinks
Message(objhyperlink.Name, objhyperlink.Address))
objhyperlink.Address = StrCat(newpath,objhyperlink.Address)
Next
oActWrkbk = 0
objWBK = 0
objXL = 0
You will need to modify it to fit your needs.
