Hyperlinks ignoring file accosiations
 

When I click on a hyperlink to a jpeg file in Exel 2003 the file opens in
internet explorer whatever the file accosiations are set too. I assume there
is a setting somewhere within Exel to change what it opens files with but
cant find this.

Thanks

files

No, it's controlled by your Windows file associations. In Windows
Explorer - Tools, Folder Options, File Types.

The problem is that Excel is ignoring the windows file associations which I
have set in the menu you describe.

When I click a hyperlink to a JPEG in Excel it opens the jpeg in the Windows
Picture and Fax Viewer which is exactly what happens when I double-click a
JPEG from Explorer. I don't know how this can be overridden within Excel as
you seem to be experiencing. Make sure the association is correct for both
JPEG and JPG files. When you double-click in Windows Explorer what app
responds?

Normally ACDSee7(www.acdsystems.com), but I have tried changing it to paint
and Windows Picutre and Fax Viewer. In both cases it works when opening the
file from explorer but not Excel.
