Hyperlinks "open with"

G

Guest

Windows XP, Office 2003

I have an Access database with the Design copy on a desktop computer and
replicas on two laptops. I created a field to hold hyperlinks.

When I open a hyperlink via Access on the two laptops, JPGs are opened with
the desired program...either Windows Picture and Fax Viewer or Office Picture
Manager. Likewise, when I open a JPG directly on the two laptops, the desired
program opens them.

On the desktop, though, clicking the hyperlink in Access results in the JPG
opening up in Internet Explorer, which is unsatisfactory for some images. In
Folder Options, JPGs are associated with Office Picture Manager, and when a
JPG is opened directly, the correct program responds.

Am I missing a setting within Access on my desktop computer that will
associate a JPG to open with Office Picture Manager rather than Internet
Explorer?

I assume that got to do with the windows set up, Folder-Options, Select the
file type section, look for jpg, and see which application windows suppose to
open when you try to open Jpg.


Open windows explorer, tools,

the
file type section, look for jpg, and see which application windows suppose to
open when you try to open Jpg.
You can change it to another application

Hi Ofer,

As I indicated in my first post, I've already done that. Folder Options are
set to open JPGs with Microsoft Office Picture Manager. When I open a JPG
directly from where it's stored, Picture Manager launches correctly. When I
click on a hyperlink to the JPG within Access, Internet Explorer launches
instead.

Any other ideas?
