Hi to all.

I'm new in the forum and the illustrator.
I face an issue
I have create an excel file with a description and a hyperlink.
With this way the user is able to open all the file that was able to open in only one excel.
So far everything is OK.
My problem is this. i have add 3 new lines for 3 adobe illustrator files.
when the user make a click in the hyperlink open the adobe illustrator but is empty.
They don't opening the file that i have add in the hyperlink. (It happens only in the .ai files all the other files .pdf - .doc - .jpg opening without any problem)

I use windows XP with SP3 and adobe illustrator CS5

Thanks and regards.

Press save as > and type in .jpeg or .png instead of saying .ai you might not be able to open it because of file size or something
