Hi Meghan, A few questions for you: What type of document are you hyperlinking too, what is the file extension? Where is the file located, on a local machine or on the internet? What is your ultimate goal for doing this? Are you trying to preview something in ArcCatalog? I am thinking that it may depend on the program/file extension associates for each device that is accessing the link. Regards, Michael P.

I was wondering if any of you fine folks might know a way to launch a hyperlink from a document (spreadsheet/word doc) and set the target to open the file path in ArcCatalog rather than file explorer.
