a network drive letter has changed, and i need to do a
find/replace on about 800 hyperlinks on a single sheet
which point to the old drive letter.
i've messed around with some VBA code to automate this,
but can't get it to work.
any suggestions please?
tia.

I would try

Sub ChangeHyperDrive()
Dim H As Hyperlink
For Each H In ActiveSheet.HyperLinks
Debug.Print H.Address
If Left(H.Address,2)="D:" Then
H.Address = "E:" & Mid(H.Address,2)
End If
Next
End Sub

If it doesn't work, look in the VB editor immediate window to see what
the addresses are actually like and, if you can't see how to change the
macro to cope, post back here a sample address.
