Problem with hyperlinks and file paths using Lotus Notes

Hey, I hope this is the right place to post this...

Basically I'm putting hyperlinks into an Excel spreadsheet (using Excel 2002). They link to a different file in a shared network drive. However, when the file is sent as an e-mail, and opened by someone else, the file path has changed to the user's local C: drive. I've tried to set the hyperlink base to the folder path, and zipping the file before sending, but it still isn't working properly. I'm using Lotus Notes to send the files.

Any ideas on locking the file path so that it will still retain the proper file path when it is e-mailed?

Thanks.


****sorry about this, just got the problem fixed, changing the base worked. This thread can be deleted*****
