hyperlinks following in copies of original file

I have been working on a time line of sorts and creating links to the various
web pages for each item. The problem is, when I make a copy of the file onto
a CD or disk and open it elsewhere the hyperlinks do not work. They are
still listed correctly when I look at them in "edit hyperlink", but I get an
error that reads "Unable to open http://www.xxxxxxx. Cannot locate the
internet server or proxy server." I end up having to copy/paste the url from
the edit menu into a browser. Why aren't the hyperlinks following in copies
correctly?

First, I don't have a guess why you get the error message.

But it really sounds like the hyperlinks are being copied correctly--otherwise,
you wouldn't be able to see the correct link (and copy|paste it into your
browser).

Maybe you could try an experiment to see if the worksheet function =hyperlink()
behaves nicer.

=hyperlink("wwww.xxxxx.com")

I use this kind all the time and never have any trouble with them.

That is not doing the trick either???? I don't understand it still gives me
the same error as before.

I'm sorry, I don't have a guess.
