    Angry Getting "Unable to open http:\\<Website here> The internet site reports that the item...."

    The full error is: "Unable to open http:\\<Website here> The internet site reports that the item you requested could not be found. (HTTP/1.0 404)"

    I get this in a certain file and any file into which I add a sheet from the first file into. When a file is added to the a clean sheet it will literally take 30-45 seconds to open, and give me the above error 4 or so times whenever I'm opening the file. This is truly frustrating, and the workbook that has this problem is massive, so I can't really rebuild it. The places that it is trying to bring up doesn't even exist anymore.

    Whenever I look at links (ALT + A + K) there will be none, and there are no connections. It appears that there are zero links whatsoever, yet I still get this message.

    I've googled this error and I haven't found anything helpful. I would post the workbook but the link contains a link to my company's internal website, so I don't think I can do that.

    Does anyone have any ideas? I'm desperate.

    Check in Name Manager - you may have a named range which refers to that website link.

    Hope this helps.

    Check for any data validation that points to the online file. This does not show up in the links but can cause this error.
