    I have previously had Adobe Acrobat Reader installed and therefore any PDF hyperlink I open (or just by double clicking on the actaul file) uses Adobe Reader to open the software – as per File Extension Association

    However, I have now installed a new PDF Software called Scansoft PDF Professional. When I double click on the file to open it opens in Scansoft as per the file extension which I correct – however – when I use a hyperlink from Access the file opens in Adobe Acrobat – it no longer uses the new file extension association it uses the old one.

    I was hoping someone may have come accross this before and know how to get the hyperlink to open in the correct software without having to uninstall either.
    Thanks.

      This is intriguing, because I have a couple of people who can’t click on their hyperlinks and get anything to happen, whereas if I do, they work. I probably have an earlier version of the reader than they do — because of your email, I’m checking with them.

      bgarth — If you look at post 639613 (sorry, Hans, you posted instructions on how to make this a link but w/ a quick search I can’t find it — I’ll look further, later) —
      This post was Han’s in response to your post created in March of this year (07), with a similar question.

      Another thought — probably not a real “safe” one, is — I wonder what results would happen if you associated the old extension with the new program? I wouldn’t try that unless it was your last hope, because I have found it mildly difficult to unassociate.
