Opening Photoshop image hyperlinks in an excel worksheet.

[simong38493154]

Hello,

I am currently creating a large image excel database for work where I include part number, description, thumbnail of picture and the source hyperlink to the Photoshop file location. When the hyperlink is clicked and Photoshop is not already open the hyperlink prompts Photoshop and opens the image file;however, if I then go ahead and try to open another image hyperlink, instead of opening the picture in a new tab it redirects me to previously opened picture file.

Is there any setting or script that I could apply to fix this problem. It is kind of a nuance to have to close the program window every time I want to open a new image file.

I associate Hyperlinks with The World Wide Web, HTLM and web Browsers. You seem to associate them with your image file type Operating System Application association.  To start execution Applications associated with image file extension like Paint, Photoshop, Gim whatever you has associated to a file extension.
