GRAPHIC PROGRAM

[Kevsim]

I have developed links in my database, so when pressed it will take you to a particular graphic. My problem is, most of the graphics were developed in MGI PhotoSuite and when the graphic is selected, PhotoSuite opens to display the graphic.
I have selected the graphic in the file, right clicked, and selected Open With and choose Paint Shop Pro, which opens the graphic. When I click the graphic in Access, PhotoSuite opens the graphic and not Paint Shop Pro as selected. The graphics are in MPG and BMP format, is there any way the graphic can be opened in Paint Shop Pro from within the database. Your advise would be appreciated.

What is the extensions of the graphic files?

I guess I need to read better. In Windows Explorer under Tools, then Folder options. Click on the Files Type tab and find the extension. I bet the program associated with it is PhotoSuite. You can change the program that opens it to Paint Shop and that should make it work correctly.

rss01, Thanks for the info. I had tried what you said previously, it works great outside Access, however, when opened in Access it keeps reverting to the original program. What i did find was, type new, then advance options, type in the file extension, then look for the program you wish to use, select, click OK, then OK again, all now works well in Access.
