    Question Auto Hyperlink to Folders

    Hey,

    I am using this code:

    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) 
        Dim FullPathName As String 
        If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub 
        If Target = "" Then Exit Sub 
         
        If Target.Column = 2 Then 
            Application.EnableEvents = False 
            FullPathName = "H:\Lab\" & Target 
            Target.Clear 
             
            Target.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Target, _ 
            Address:=FullPathName, TextToDisplay:=FullPathName 
            Application.EnableEvents = True 
        End If
    Everything works the way I want it, but one thing. Instead of displaying the "Full Path Name," I want it to display the folder name only. Looked everywhere and could not figure out what to do. Any insight into this would be welcomed.

    Thank you.

    Hello hapten,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    Try this change to your macro.
    
    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    
        Dim Foldername As String
        Dim FullPathName As String
        
        If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
        If Target = "" Then Exit Sub
         
        If Target.Column = 2 Then
            Application.EnableEvents = False
            Foldername = Target
            FullPathName = "H:\Lab\" & Target
            Target.Clear
             
            Target.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Target, _
            Address:=FullPathName, TextToDisplay:=Foldername
            Application.EnableEvents = True
        End If
    
    End Sub
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross
