Hyperlink to jpg files - nothing happens (?)

Hello,
I have an Access 2000 database with a hyperlink field. The field
stores links to .jpg files stored on my hard disk. *When I click on
the link, nothing happens!!* When I create a link to any other kind of
file (eg. PDF), the link works fine.

This has worked fine in the past, though I did convert from Access 97
to 2000 at one point (not sure if this is when the problem started).

I have checked and rechecked proper syntax. I have also noticed the
same problem exists when I try to create a hyperlink from Word or
Excel. Any file type works, except JPG (?).

JPG file extension opens to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

What is wrong here?
