This is nothing to do with Excel. Windows determines what programs are
associated with any file type.

If you want to change the default program to open this image type the right
click on any file with the right extention and select "open with" and browse
for the program you want. Tick the box that says always use this program
and click OK.

If you do not want to change the default windows behaviour for these file
types then I think the only way is to write a macro to open the file instead
of using a link.

Hi Lorne

Why ever did I not think of a Macro - doh! Thank you for your help ;o)
