Is the problem in creation of the hyperlinks or in their use?

For creation I would use Insert / Hyperlink and type the URL into the
first box.

For use - does double-clicking a similar jpg file in Windows explorer
behave differently?

The problem is in the use.
pThe picture-files are on our Server (A HREF="http://www.myserver.com/pics/xxxxxx.jpg"http://www.myserver.com/pics/xxxxxx.jpg/A)
and if I click at the link in excel different computers open bdifferent
programs/b to view & I get an error.
brIf I open the same *.jpg from explorer (local), starts the bstandard
program/b for pictures I linked with the *.jpg. OK !
pThx

I am not an expert in hyperlinks or JPGs.
On my Excel 97 if I create a hyperlink to a .jpg it opens Micrsoft Photo Editor which is
the program associated with .jpg in Windows Explorer / View / Folder Options / File
Types.

With Excel 2003 on Windows XP the same test using a Hyperlink in Excel to a .jpg showed
the picture in Internet Explorer. On that system, JPG is associated with Windows Picture
and Viewer, which is what double-clicking a JPG in Windows Explorer loads.

On each machine on which the program opened is different from your expectations, what
versions of Excel and Windows, what program is opened, and what is associated with .jpg
in Windows Explorer (presumably the program you wanted to use)?

Google turned up some relevant information.
For Windows XP:
