Good Morning All,

Not a huge problem but something I'd like to find an answer to.

I've noticed in my Excel workbooks and in some word files that if I have a hyperlink to a different part of the workbook/document (i.e linking to a different worksheet or using a contents table) when I click it, word stops responding and I see at the bottom left of the window 'Contacting ...(then the file path)' but it just continues not responding until I hit Escape and it pops up saying 'No database connected to this view'. Now the documents work fine if they're on my desktop, but they're all stored and accessed on a shared drive.

Although I'm savvy enough to just hit escape then click OK a lot of people in my office aren't.

Is there anyway I can stop this error occurring? If the person doesn't know to just hit escape it eventually crashes the program.

Any thoughts or advise on how to resolve would be fantastic.

Kind Regards,

R
