Hey!
Is it possible to open a file of an other application than Excel, but opening same from within Excel?
I was trying to establish by using a link in an Excel cell, but the system does not work, it continues telling that the file cannot be opened, because there is no application to open it.
I try to open a .bgl file of my Flight Simulator, which usually opens with the AFX application which is also installed on my system...
