Do you have any securyty / protections placed on that file?

Open a new spreadsheet, go to Insert tab, then click on Hyperlink. Enter some well-known URL like http/google.com
Can you open it from that spreadsheet?

Hi Quite simply NO.

Its so silly ive done this thousands of times and this just wont work. Ive even entered the links into explorer and they work fine. Copy paste works fine in taking hyper link from spread sheet. But the actual link no matter how i set it for whatever site it just wont work. Im using Office 2010 and never had a problem. I don't allow pc to download anything with out my permission. I have no virusus no issues and i still cannot get this working.
Hyperlinks within office from word to excel and back work great.
Thanks for reply

What errors do you get when you try?

Error message "cannot connect to your sever".

It might not be seeing it as a website, but a local network site(like SharePoint).

No its bringing up error cannot connect to server at [link removed] and that is a web site online working.
But like all other problems encountered i will solve this one.

But thanks for replies.

so it did popup an IE browser windows or whatever your default web broswer?

Does this happen only with your [link removed]' web site, or with any web link?

Problem solved or at least i know why it wont hyper-link from Excel 2010 to a web page.

Excel is a starter 2010 program in Windows 7 and to make a hyper-link work to call up a web site in excel you need to buy the full version. As the hyper-links in excel to their help and support comes out with same problem (Cannot find server)

Over come problem i use 2010 to compile what i need and then open it with Excel 2002.

so when other ask if www.google.com would work you just didn't do it?

 

[porky1957]

Ive tried goolge.com msn.com google.no msn.no none of them work from excel spread sheet new or old spread sheets.

Its excel 2010 as its a starter version that come on pc running windows seven it needs to be paid for which im not willing to do to get hyperlinks working. but internal hyperlinks in excel work so that is fine.

Wish i had kept previous version of windows as that was the best one.
So my question is now answered thanks for the help everyone have a great day.
