Display of a hyperlink .jpg file in Excel 2002
Something happened to my machine when I was at a website and a number of
things got screwed up. I fixed several, but something happened to Excel. I am running XP on a Dell PC. I have numerous excel spreadsheets with hyperlinks to .jpg pictures. After creating the hyperlinks, I use to be able to click on the cell and IE would open to display the picture. I used that to check and see if I had hyperlinked to the correct picture. Now, I click on the cell and nothing happens. The hyperlink is there and OK. What has changed and how do I fix this problem. Thanks for your help. |

Display of a hyperlink .jpg file in Excel 2002
I checked the settings in Excel and both boxes are checked under options -
general - web options - general. Problem remains. I have looked at the folder tools -options -file types and in the past, the .jpg types (and other picture types) were set to an application €śWindows Picture and Fax Viewer€ť. If I change this to IE, then the Excel links will open IE and display. In the past, the links would automatically open IE and the back button worked. Clicking on the back button and the IE window would close and you would be back to the Excel spreadsheet. By setting the .jpg type types to IE, the Excel hyperlink will work, but the back button is does not work. Have to close the window with the close button. With this setting, all folders containing .jpg (and other) picture files no longer display the Windows Picture viewer icon but IE. Something has changed. If I return the folder option for types to the original application, then clicking on the hyperlink in excel does nothing. It is if excel does not know to open IE as before to display the picture. In the past, the back button worked so I would only click on it to go back to the Excel spreadsheet. HELP! What has happened and where?

Display of a hyperlink .jpg file in Excel 2002
I have continued to trouble shoot this problem. I found if I creat a new
Excel spread sheet and put in hyperlinks to pictures, everything works OK. So what has happened to existing Excel spreadsheets with hyperlinks to .jpg not working. Something in the file sturcture has change?? Thanks for help, Dave "Dave Brooks" wrote: Something happened to my machine when I was at a website and a number of things got screwed up.

Just to add a bit more, where I said in the earlier post, that a new
spreadsheet with hyperlinks worked - well - that was not the complete story. When I saved that file and then reopened it. The hyperlinks to pictures do not work. When working on the spread sheet prior to saving, the hyperlinks to pictures work. Saving and then reopening, something changes and the hyperlinks will not open. Very frustrated now.
