Way to Hyperlink Cells to Files with only Partial Information?

[dabrams]

Hi Folks,
I need to hyperlink each cell in column D to a associated pdf file.
However the name in the cell has only a part of the name of the associated file.
For instance, the name of the meeting minutes file is abc-123-2013.
However the name in the cell is abc, without the 123 or 2013 (abc is a unique name, not generic).
Is there any way to hyperlink all of the column D cells to their associated files with only half of its information?
A VBA code to do this is appreciated.
The files are in the same folder as the Excel worksheet and am using Excel 2010.
Thank you so much!

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).
