Hyperlink always opens a new file, instead of already open file

[Bob T]

Hello al

I have a hyperlink to my access database, and whenever it is clicked, it opens a new copy of the database. As we go back and forth betweeen the two files using hyperlinks, I can get 10 or more copies of the database open, which really slows things down. Interesting that when I use the hyperlink that goes from access to visio, g t goes to the already open file, rather than opening a new one

How can I stop this??

I don't have an answer, but a related question. When I
use hyperlinks to Word or Excel, it launches the file
within a web browser instead of opening Word or Excel -
so I lose all functionality. Do you know how to change
that?

Thanks!

know how to change Visio to open Word or Excel when
hyperlinking instead of simply opening within browser
(and losing functionality)?

Thanks!
