error in calc

Hello,

I have a document and in that document I'm having links to other documents. It has worked all the time, but sudden I'm getting this error message:

\\fileserver\sharedfolder\sharedfile is not an absolute url that can be passed to an external application to open it.

Anyone can help me on this?

My first thought is to verify the link is still good.  In the cell in question, click on the cell then choose Insert >> Hyperlink from the menu.  Verify the value in the target column.  If that looks good, see if you can navigate to that file using your OS (what OS do you have?)

The link is still good. It has worked in the past and I didn't change anything. Just an upgrade to the latest version of LibreOffice.

Let me find a machine I can upgrade and see what I can find out.  I have not heard of this issue yet, so it may take a little digging.

A few more questions:
Is this calc or writer?
If you put the url in a new document does it work?
How about if you paste the link in another type document like notepad++.  Does that work?

It's probably a problem on my pc, because my colleagues use the same file without any problem. thanks for helping out.
