Hi Martin,



I guess that means that you have absolutely no customisations to your toolbars and menus - that would be the case if you've just done a fresh install.

At this stage it really does sound like a genuine bug as opposed to some sort of workbook corruption or problem with one of your add-ins. If that's the case, it's not something we're going to be able to fix here. It's worth reporting it to Microsoft and coming up with an interim solution to workaround the issue. One workaround might be to try to programmatically add the hyperlink to the spreadsheet.

I guess so. I do have a workaround - I copy an existing hyperlink and can then edit the file that opens from that link and the display name. That in effect creates a new hyperlink.

I also get the oddity that at least a couple of times a week, when I start an Office programme, I get a window saying 'Microsoft Office needs to install new features' - not that I have changed anything at all in the interim. This happens so often that I copied the installation disc to my hard drive and whatever it is that the programme feels it needs to install runs automatically now without the hassle of my having to put the disc into the DVD drawer..

Just a curiosity rather than a major annoyance, but it shows that there is something wrong with my installation - as I say, a complete uninstall/reinstall makes no difference, so yes, probably a bug using Office 2002 in Win7 x64.

Thanks for trying to help,

Martin
