Got it:

ActiveWorkbook.followhyperlink <string expression where string expression
must contain a valid URL.

But at this point I have another question:
if the string expression does not contain a valid url then how can we trap
this error programatically? i noticed that due to a bug in some case my
string expression did not contain a valid url, and despite having an ON ERROR
clause the routine did not trap the error. Any ideas?
