hyperlink to an mpg fails

[mbenzy]

trying to create a hyperlinked index to a directory
containing mpg movies. can create the link but the mpgs
will not open. when creating the link "mpg" is not an
option, but can see files by selecting "all files"

thoughts?

I don't have any .mpgs to check but this worked ok for .jpg. It just starts the
application that's associated with that extension:

=HYPERLINK("c:\my download files\mypict.jpg","NiceNameHere")
