I cannot send the file because it contains proprietary information. I have tried different Hyperlinks to other sites that have a ***.Sitename.com format and they do not fail. However, the one I need starts with "dashboard." and it always fails. It does not fail if the link is from a Hyperlink in Word.
Edit -- I capture a list from the server and it has user ID's. Looking at a profile for an individual is that ID number with common text before and after. My intent is to sequentially open the links as I fix the records detected as needing attention by my Excel Macro.

First of all, if you have not already done so,
I recommend that you perform a Windows Update ... Better safe than sorry :).
Error message when selecting hyperlink in Office:
"Cannot locate the Internet server or proxy server"
Symptoms
When you create a hyperlink in an Office document and then select the link, you may receive one of these error messages:
Unable to open <URL>. Cannot locate the Internet server or proxy server.
Unable to open <URL>. Cannot open the specified file.
<URL> = the hyperlink you inserted.
You can find more information in the link above
Hope this information could help you.
Wish you a nice day.
