Hyperlink: Cannot Download The Information You Requested
Hi,I am getting this mistake recently when adding a hyperlink to a cell in Excel. I add together the link into the jail cell and click on the link and get the mistake:
''Unable to open up [link]. Cannot download the information you requested.''
I paste the link into a browser and it works fine. I basically want to add a link to my worksheet and when I click on the link it opens it in the browser.
I am using Excel 2000.
Thanks.
