Some Hyperlinks not Working in Excel 2007
I am trying to troubleshoot a problem with an Excel spreadsheet that includes
links to product manuals. All of the hyperlinks were functioning in the past but certain ones no longer do. I have tried creating a new document with new hyperlinks but get the same problem. All of the links will open when pasted into a browser. The problematic links are all to PDFs on the US Kohler site. For example: http://www.us.kohler.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/111946_4.pdf. I get the error "Unable to open http://www.us.kohler.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/111946_4.pdf. Cannot open the specified file." Links to PDFs on other sites (example: http://www.zurn.com/operations/aquaf...eets/63276.pdf) work just fine. Clicking will give the security warning confirmation dialog then open the site. As the link is valid I do not know why it will not open. I think that Excel is trying to pre-fetch the link and not getting what it expects. Has anyone encountered something like this before? Is there a way to force it to open a link without doing the precheck? |

Some Hyperlinks not Working in Excel 2007
I don't know what the issue is with the Kohler site, but when I tried
the link you posted in your message it got no response in Internet Explorer. The problem, I think, is with the site and not with the link. Bill Manville MVP - Microsoft Excel, Oxford, England No email replies please - respond to newsgroup |
