Default How to select program to open Hyperlink?

Excellent piece of information, Jim!

I was using Foxit (2.0). Since mine was an upgrade, I decided to go ahead
an upgrade to Foxit (2.1), and yes, it solved my problem too. I really
appreciate you taking the time to inform me of your situation.

Thanks much,
Bernie

For what it is worth...
I do not have Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat on my system.
I do have Foxit Reader.
I have just discovered that the new version of Foxit (2.2) has problems
opening and closing when activated from a hyperlink in Excel.
The toolbars are misplaced on opening and it crashes when exiting.
I uninstalled Foxit (2.2) and installed the prior version (2.1) and the
program
works normally when opened from an Excel hyperlink.

I do have Adobe Acrobat Professional.
My default program for PDF files is Foxit Reader.

When I set a hyperlink in Excel, and then click on that link, it opens the
link with Adobe Acrobat Professional. I want it to open with Foxit
Reader.

How do I accomplish this, and why is the current "default" program for the
hyperlink Adobe Acrobat Professional?

Thanks,
Bernie
