Hi, I want to be able to select a hyperlink within an Excel spreadsheet it hyperlinks to Thunderbird. Right now it hyperlinks to MS Outlook. Is there a way to change settings to get the hyperlink function to work with Thunderbird? Thanks!

Thanks for the response, but this didn't work. I do have Thunderbird set up as my default email client, but apparently excel doesn't recognize it, and still tries to open ms outlook, which is a problem because I don't have outlook installed on my computer.

Out of curiosity, what kind of "hyperlink" is it that would launch an email client rather than a browser?

I know about mailto:. I wanted the OP to tell us what he's using.
