Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help solve this riddle for me. I'm getting the following message in Excel after testing a hyperlink I embedded:

"Cannot Locate The Internet Server or Proxy Server"

I've created hyperlinks before without this issue while using the same Excel version and Macbook.


Facts:

Excel 2008

MacBook Pro 2012 10.13.6 (updated)

The URL works fine when pasted into chrome. (this is the link )

Google Chrome is my default on this computer. Has been since I got it.

I don't have a firewall up. I even went in to check, and I turned it on, at which point it asked me about Excel and I "allowed" it. When back to test the link again. Still didn't work. I turned the firewall back off.

I do have adblockers on chrome.

Is it not working because my Excel is just too old?


Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks
