Question

Customize Hyperlink Window Message

I have a macro that creates automatic hyperlinks. When the file is created and located under the directory that target this hyperlink the hyperlink open the file. However, when the file has not been created and placed it under this directory obviously the hyperlink does not work and show me the following windows message::

I wonder if there is a way to customize this window message to have "The file has not been created yet. Please contact the project owner" instead.

Could you please let me know if is possible..

Thanks in advance!!
