Hyperlink Error Message - 'Bad Extension For File'
« on: April 14, 2008, 12:39:06 PM »
A few users have been creating a drawing with hyperlinks to pictures (JPGs).  On one computer the hyperlinks don't work.  When she clicks on the link she gets a message box that says "BAD EXTENSION FOR FILE" and the image doesn't open.  On every other computer I've checked, the links work correctly.  She has PICKFIRST set to 1 and JPGs are a registered file type on her computer because they open with the default image viewer (MS Office Picture Manager).

check to see that the extension variations are also setup .. many times JPG works while JPEG does not and vice versa.
