Is anyone aware of a bug in Excel that disrupts a hyperlink's path when the document is saved? In a workbook I created, the path to a hyperlink gets prepended with "../../../.." replacing the "\\NetPath01" when I save the workbook, no matter how many times I correct it and no matter how I go about editing or creating the hyperlink. Now, the weird part about it, is that this will only happen if the file is being saved on a network drive as opposed to a local drive. Any knowledge or fix you may have would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hyperlinks are used by browsers in two different ways, either absolute (as in or relative in which case the address takes a BASE (such as the current page) and refers to others with a path which includes .. and / to designate back and down.
Go to file|properties|summary and set a base for the hyperlinks. Perhaps it could be the root directory of your network.
It works for me, but then I hadn't noticed a problem in the first place
