As per title im having issues when opening pdf.

On my worksheet database in column P i have an invoice number.
Its hyperlinked so when i click on it the pdf is then shown on the screen.
What happens is i click the hyperklinked invoice number & i see the message box, clicking ok continues to open the pdf.
In this example invoice 134 is used but all others are the same.

On the same worksheet database i also have another hyperlink of which is in column Y
The text is PROGRAMMED WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS
I click the hyperlinked text & the file opens straight away.

Why two different processes for an opening code ???
