Your file associations are screwed up. You can fix it through Tools >> Folder options >> File Types in Windows Explorer, but it's probably easier just to install the latest version of Acrobat. If you're like most folks you're due for an update anyway. And do a *thorough* virus scan of your computer, with current definitions. I can't say for sure that you're infected, but changing file associations seems like the sort of thing a virus would do. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai...
From: Mike H on 29 Mar 2010 04:03 Hi, I doubt that this is an Excel issue it's to do with file associations in Windows. Go to any PDF on your computer and right click it and click 'Open With'. Adobe reader should appear in the list so select it and then check 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' OK -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
