Hello helpful people -

I am trying to link through Excel, and I have found a strange error:

The links work, but only if that URL is in the IE cache already! Otherwise, I get a "Cannot download the information you requested" error. Once I copy the link to IE, visit it there, then I can go back into Excel and the link will click through...

It's very odd.

I'm using the HYPERLINK function: =HYPERLINK("=HYPERLINK("http://[removed_for_security]/rip/showProjectDetails.do?projectId="&A9)
and I've verified the links are correct (especially as the error only happens if the link is NOT in the cache)

Anyone have ANY clue on how to fix this?
