    Hi Rasdan

    Not all file types are supported by the NAV hyperlink, an an Excel Macro file is not on the 2009 list and I assume it wouldn't be on the 2013 list, this is almost certainly your problem

    Fortunately Excel is pretty smart with files so this is easy to test

    Go to the actual file on the network share and change the extension from XLSM to XLS

    Launch it through NAV and you should get excel launching and saying that the extension does not match, do you want to open it anyway, saying yes will open the file

    If this is the case then you know for sure it is the extension of the file not being supported by the hyperlink function

    Hi Neville Foyn.

    thanks for your Solution. it is really help, and it is work fine. I just changed the extension XLSM to XLS.

    but it is still have the warning with the excel 2010 when I open the Hyperlink excel file, cause of changing the extension xls.

    I really hope that you still have another solutions that maybe I can try  , maybe without Hyperlink Function ?. the important is we can click the open file XLSM and of course without the excel 2010 warning message.

    In NAV we still want to use / link open from the NAV FORM  design.

    thank you
