I am unable to give a file with a non-common extension in hyperlin

[Guest]

Hi all,
If i give in the hyperlink a file (say extension .cfm) and a program is
registered in windows to open this type of file (say Textpad), even then i
get an error while opening the file during the PPT. It says there is no
program registered for the same.

Please help folks!

Thanks in advance.

I just tried a simple version of this (using .CFM as the extension) and it
seems to work ok here ...

- Simple txt file on the desktop renamed to .CFM
- Used right-click, Open With, Notepad, Always to reset the association
- Set a hyperlink to the file on the desktop in PPT2003

Let's figure out what's different at your end.
