In my spreadsheet, I have hyper links that go to specific records in a remote database.

If the links are in Outlook e-mail, when I click the first one, I login into the database. When I click on the next one, it simply opens that record in a new window.
that is the behavior I want.

When I click the first one from Excel, I am prompted to log in.
When I click on the next one, it opens new window, but prompts me to log in again.
How can I configure excel to behave like Outlook?
thanks.
