Hi,
I think you'll have to change a Windows setting for that. Select any .jpg and right click it and select 'Open With' and then 'Choose a program' Navigate to your application of choice and select it. Check 'Always use the selected program to open this type of file' Mike "novi.lik" wrote: i made a hiperlynk on a .jpg when i click on it, it opens in Photo Editor. how can i change it to something else (like IrfanView or AcdSee) |

"novi.lik" wrote: i made a hiperlynk on a .jpg when i click on it, it opens in Photo Editor. how can i change it to something else (like IrfanView or AcdSee) I have the same problem, but in the opposite direction, so any help would be appreciated. I have been using Excel for years as a quasi database to index all of my scanned documents. When I click on a hyperlink to the document, I used to always get the Windows and Fax Viewer. I had to reinstall Windows XP and all applications due to a hard disk crash, and now the same links bring up the image in IE. The "open with" in Explorer is set to open JPEG files in Windows and Fax Viewer and the folder view options is also set to open JPEG files in Windows and Fax Viewer. So, if we can figure out why Excel insists on opening the JPEG image in IE, then I suspect that both of our questions may be answered. =HYPERLINK("Scanner\Documents\08\"&C3342&".jpg",C3 342&".jpg") and =HYPERLINK("file:\\C:Scanner\Documents\08\"&C3358& ".jpg",C3358&".jpg") work exactly the same. Any help here would be appreciated...... |
