problems opening an url

M

Mike

Hello out there,

In Excel 2000 I used to open an url to update data from this page:
http://epp.eurostat.cec.eu.int/port...oduct=_STRIND&root=STRIND/strind/enviro/en031")

This page contains first some text and then a table with data in it.

In Excel XP and 2003 this no longer seems to work. The page Excel, is
opening, does not contain the complete html page (only the first lines
of text). When you open the same url with a browser , you can see the
complete page.

Is it a bug or a feature of the new versions ?
Does anybody know how to resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Mike,
Luxembourg

When I open it within excel, I get text and a table. You might want to
edit your hyperlink and verify the address listed there is what you want.
Alternatively, you can use the hyperlink function to create a hyperlink of
the "name" shown in your excel page to see if that works.

Thank you ,
but do you use Excel 2000 or Excel XP.
The problem appears only in Excel XP (or 2003)
