I currently have various email addresses in my workbook.
However, when clicking on the address they are opening in my Office 365 Environment. I need the links to open in Outlook 2016.
Any Ideas how to force this?
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
This may be an Outlook issue instead. Within Outlook, go to options -> general -> make outlook the default program for e-mail, contacts and calendar. If this box isn't ticked, then this could be the issue. Tick it & then try the hyperlink (you may have to close Excel & re-open it).

Or you can try going to your control panel -> default programs -> set associations -> scroll down to find the mailto entry (URL: Mailto Protocol). If next to it it doesn't say Outlook then click change programs and choose Outlook from the list. Again you may have to close Excel and re-open it.

Hope either of these solves it!
