Happy Holidays to all here!

I have some hyperlinks on a sheet which work fine except for one which wont open in my preferred default browser (chrome) so I have to open it in another browser.

Is there a way to direct that single hyperlink to open in a different browser to my default?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Here is an idea :

You could remove that specific hyperlink from the cell that is holding it, add a label control to the worksheet , make the caption of the label display the hyperlink address and change the color of the text to blue so it mimics the default color of a real hyperlink.

Then you could use the label MouseMove and Click events to shell the url in the web browser of your choice .. with some more code, one could also change the label cursor from the default arrow to a hand cursor.

Thanks for that.
