Thread: Cannot open PDF file on hyperlink

When i try to open a PDF file on hyperlink in excel this message is displayed
" Some files can contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your computer. It is imp....... would you like to open this file?"

You tick ok then it will display "No program is registered to open this file."

Has any body here encountered the same? Thanks!

Steps
1. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\excel.exe /unregserver
2. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\excel.exe /regserver (wait here for MSIEXEC to finish)
3. Open Excel and close.
4. Open Adobe Acrobat Reader - wait for MSIEXEC to finish-close.
5. Now open XLS document containing hyperlinks to PDF
This should work for you.
