    Re: Hyperlink Error HTTP/1.0 404

    Excel's hyperlink and the getting of data from external sources facilities, in my experience, do not accept URLs that are dynamically produced by the websites in question.

    From what my experiments at this end indicate, the hyperlink in Excel is using the local Regional Settings for location to redirect the hyperlink to what is designed for the local area. I get different results from Excel and my web browser using the exact same URL. This seems to be a quirk of Excel.

    Thanks for the more detailed answer. I suspected an answer along those lines. Were you able to get either URL to take you to the new website? If so, I wonder if I could change my local settings to get it to work..
