Do you have Adobe Reader 7.0? There is an issue between Excel and Adobe
Reader 7.0. Hopefully this will be resolved with the next release of Adobe
Reader. Here is the workaround: open Adobe Reader, click on the hyperlink in
Excel, then press Alt+left arrow key. That should open the PDF file.

I have Acrobat Reader 7.0 and had the same problem. I have successfully
fixed this by dowloading Acrobat Reader 7.0.1. You may have to go to
www.adobe.com and find downloads. (My "check for updates" selection in
Acrobat did not find these updates. There are 2 other updates beyond 7.0.1)
