Hyperlinks open in Powerpoint Viewer

[Blondee]

I have several links to powerpoint files set up in an Excel file. When
opening the links, they open in Powerpoint viewer instead of Powerpoint for
editing. Any suggestions?

That's odd.

Does it happen that way if you double-click a PPT or PPS file on your
harddrive?

Maybe your file associations are messed up?
