Default Excel Hyperlink to Open an External File

Mr. Mike Fogleman,

Thank you for replying to my query.

1. Upon MyComputer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types,
the Folder Options dialog box shows "Details for |*| extension" to be
oe of,
"Opens with AutoVue for Windows". Yes, Asterisk for |*|.
The other buttons such as New, Delete, Change and Advanced are dimmed
and so is Apply. OK remains clickable but it does not help my case.

2. Could not find .DWG file type for association as in Step 1 above.

3. When .DWG file is clicked directly under Explorer to open, the
dialog box "Oen With ..." intervenes ; and then, albeit showing that,

"Always use this Program to Open these Files" is checked but the
System

keeps intervention via "Open With ...." dialog box after another
clicking to open a .DWG file.

4. It appears that the Hyperlink formula does not work (with the
untamed) .DWG files ; however, .PDF files are well tamed to work
apparently.

5. So, What's Next ? Regards.
