Hi!
I have a client with a strange issue, she often puts hyperlinks in columns in her excel files, pointing toPDF´s and wordfiles on a fileserver. the links are formatted like: file:///\\server\test\testing.pdf
She just types a word in the column, highlights it and click the hyperlink icon in excel, then points it to a file on a network share, (not on the sharepoint server itself).
when she uploads the excel document to SharePoint 2010 the hyperlinks changes tohttp://hersharepointserverurl/lists/test/testing.pdf
this of course renders the hyperlink useless because the linked file isnt in sharepoint, and it throws a file not found error.
I have tried in Excel options, unchecked "update links on save" but it doesent help.
Has anyone in here come across this and maybe has the solution or som tips for troubleshooting ?
regards Lars
