When I create a hyperlink to an existing excel file and then click on it,
explorer opens to the folder that the file is in instead of the excel file
opening. Just to test I pointed it to a word document and the doc file
opened fine. How do I get a hyperlink to open the excel file? Thanks.
 
Are you sure it isn't to the folder instead. Only way I can reproduce that
is if I select the folder instead of the file when I create the hyperlink.
As expected if I use a hyperlink to a particular file it will open..
 
No it's clearly pointing to the excel file itself:
C:\Documents and Settings\phil1\My Documents\#03-B171 Oswego Hospital.xls

Could it be the way the .xls file is named?
