I had thought that myself, Is there any way around that? maybe some way i can
"trick" excel into thinking its a Word Doc? I know that may be a bit of a
long shot but if its possible why not try right?

Thank you again for your help

I suspect that the problem is related to either file associations or the

Morning all.
Once again I am stupmed after trying something a little different this time.
I am trying to hyperlink a DWF file in Excel and while the hyperlink is built
and the file path is valid nothing happends. I have tried even inserting the
file in the spreadsheet and that doesnt even work. I have been trying to do
this for the majority of the week and thus far are no closer to a solution. I
can hyperlink any other file I desire, just not the DWF file.. is this a
permissions conflict? the file is on the srever and I have access to the
drive (I can open the file through windows) I just cant seem to get the
hyperlink to work. I have tried moving the file and building the link and
that does not work either. I have tried to use the hyperlink formula in the
cell as well and that does not even work. I have tried (thinking maybe it was
just my computer) to have a co worker open the lnk and that does not work
either. Could it be possible that Excel can not open links that are
associated with the AUTODESK DWF Viewer for some reason? Or maybe I am doing
something wrong. (have built hyperlinks before and never had this problem)

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide
