Re: Links to Sharepoint Document in Excel Opens in Browser
Here is what I do to make links to SharePoint documents open in their client apps: 1. To make the link work from SharePoint, the library settings (advanced) must be set to open in Client (but if in classic view this setting is ignored). 2. When you paste the link you copy from SharePoint, remove all text after the document extension beginning with the ? (so it just ends with the document extension) – otherwise when someone clicks the link in any MS app, the document opens in a browser. IMO, it would be simpler for SharePoint to simply provide a choice of two versions of link - one that ends in the document extension (call in 'Client link') and one that has the other stuff at the end (call it 'Browser link') but until then this is a fairly easy fix and it works in my world - hope it works for you too!157KViews1like10Comments
