Using Excel 2000 (under Windows XP) I cannot get a hyperlink of the form
ProgramXYZ.exe FileToOpen.ext
to work. It fails with the rather unhelpful message "An unexpected error
has occurred."

I've tried several simple examples, such as:
notepad.exe C:\Test.txt
or
C:\windows notepad.exe C:\Test.txt
but all fail. They work fine as normal shortcuts or in the Run box.

Anyone have any insights into this please? Or how to work around it?
