    Question Hyperlink conversion

    I have just been told that one of our servers is being replaced this weekend. I have thousands of hyperlinks in excel docs that reference this server. Other than manually reestablishing the links one by one to the new server, is there a way to do some kind of global change to replace the old server name with the new server name?

    These are not hyperlink formulas, but rather Insert>>Hyperlink.

    Or, is there a way to convert these hyperlinks to hyperlink formulas that would omit reference to the server and thus not be broken during the conversion?

    Grasping at straws because I cannot envision having to relink these one by one.

    I couldn't get that to work quite right, but I found this macro. I adjusted it to see if I could replace part of the hyperlink and it did work for replacing "Crowe".

    Now my problem is this. When I hover over the hyperlink I see this address:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    But, if I go in to edit the hyperlink, I get this address:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    I need the chinas01 changed, not Crowe, but that doesn't show in the second address.
