    Have any one here had encounter such message when I click on a Pdf hyperlink in my excel file?

    "no program is registered to open this file"

    The same excel file and pdf files are work perfectly in other computer running on WinXP with MS Excel 2000.

    The problematic is when the computer running Vista with Excel 2007.

    Initially it is some other error message, which is regarding some sort of what administrative right to open the link. Then, I use "Set Program Default" to restore the windows setting, then I saw "no program is registered to open this file" when I click the hyperlink.

    I did re-install the Adobe Reader 9.2, but still cannot help.

    Anyone have any idea to make the excel run the hyperlink?

    It should be Adminstrative account. Since it is only 1 user account in that laptop.

    Really can't figure out the cause of the problem.

    There are few similar case on Google, but after apply those solution still cannot fix the problem.

    I even re-installed both Adobe Reader and Ms Office. Cannot solve also.

    Final solution ---> Don't use Adobe Reader. Install other PDF reader.
