Question

Anyone have success accessing an Excel file that is a hyperlink in a 3D Note?

I can add the link without issue. When I try to access the url (excel) sheet, I get two warning messages saying that Excel cannot find the file, then it opens it in read only mode.

    I should mention, I have tried a hyperlink of a MS Power Point, MS Word, and a JPEG. All work fine. The issue seems to only exist with Excel.

    This warning looks to be from MIcrosoft Excel side... when searching for this message found number of articles from Microsoft couple of them are

    Thanks for the response.

    I read those articles as well. However, there are eluding to the path of the file being too long. As you can see from the error image, my file is located in C:\temp. Therefore, that can not be the issue. This still doesn't explain why the excel file eventually opens up in "read only" mode.
