Thanks to both of you for so quickly responding to my query!

Clifford: I did try the Folder Options route, but within Access 2007 IE
insists on opening my hyperlinked images! Very annoying. I'll definitely
check out the FTYPE and ASSOC cmds, though.

Damon:
Where and how do I insert your code to implement? (I'm fairly adept at
basic computer use, but somewhat clueless when it comes to code).

Thanks!

I have a designated folder which stores my jpeg image files to be hyperlinked
to an Access 2007 database table. When I click on the images in that folder,
they are set to open using the "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" app by
default. However, when I click on the hyperlinked jpeg image within Access,
they open using the app "Windows Internet Explorer" (IE). I don't know where
I can change the app which opens the images within Access. I'd like for them
to open using the app of my choice (in this case, the Windows Picture and Fax
Viewer). All of this is on my local desktop PC (no servers or admin
personnel other than myself involved in settings). The OS is Microsoft
Windows XP.
Much Thanks!
