Hyperlink selection generates error message
I have an Excel spreadsheet with multiple tabs and hundreds of hyperlinks on
each tab. Randomly, when a user selects one of these links, an error is generated; "Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action." |

Hyperlink selection generates error message
I guess whatever application is required to open the document to which
the hyperlink points is held up while trying to open it. It might, for example, be displaying a dialogbox which needs a response? Which application is involved? Does it always happen on the first invocation of that application during a session? Any other clues about when it happens?

Hi,
Try this it might work: Choose Tools, Options, General tab, check Ignore other applications. -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "cwpauline" wrote: I have an Excel spreadsheet with multiple tabs and hundreds of hyperlinks on each tab.
