working with a hyperlink

The file association in Windows is for the program IrfanView to open a PNG or JPG, and they open correctly in that program when opened directly, but Excel incorrectly opens them in Internet Explorer.

The guru Steve Rindsberg in the PowerPoint group, said it's a design flaw that Microsoft overlooked, and that I'm not alone. It works that way for everyone.

Hi Melina,

Ok

I just changed my file association to picture viewer for *.PNG (just as a test) then created a Hyperlink in excel 2003 to a png image on my desktop and it opened it in picture viewer....

Guess this must be a bug that doesn't affect everyone.
