Excel hyperlink changes to local path

[EFlonk]

Hello all, I have a problem with the path of hyperlinks in an excel file changing. I have a file which has a list of hyperlinks to different drawings, these drawings are stored on the company sharepoint. All the links have a path to the company sharepoint location. Multiple people use this one document that is stored on the sharepoint aswell. However sometimes all the links in the file are changed to a local paths. The link "https.<company>.sharepoint.<location of file>" is then changed to "file:\\C:\User.<location file> and with that the link becomes useless. 

I already found out that in the option - advanced - web options - files - checkbox "update links on save" is to be unchecked to prevent this from happening but I assume this is a setting that needs to be set for each user account, which makes this not a realistic way to prevent this problem from happening. 

What can I change to the Excel file to prevent the links from changing and staying on the path to the sharepoint files?

If all the hyperlinks in the workbook go to the same SP document library, you could use a hyperlink base (Stored in the properties of the workbook so it travels with the worbook):

Thank you, this might indeed be a solution to my problem. Having the base adress in the file will solve my problem. When I click the cell it will go to the desired file.
However a next problem it created. My code now does not recognize the hyperlink, for my code cell.hyperlink.count>0 condition is not met. The code now skips the cells with this new hyperlink in it.

Any suggestions on this?
