Help with Excel Hyperlink

[Jakboi]

This is strange but not sure why this is happening.

This link will not open in excel worksheet. However if I save the worksheet as a .htm page it will open. Is there a way to force a hyperlink to open with Adobe Reader?

To see what I mean try the following. Put this link in a worksheet and try to open:

I need a macro of some sort I think, Any Insight?

Running:

IE7
Adobe Reader 8
Excel 2003

Thanks.

I think there is a problem with association of program with file extention. Save any pdf file to your pc, right click on this file, select "open with", "choose program", select "adobe reader" and select "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" box, click "ok".
