Thanks . . .
The website name in the cell is changed from time to time so I need
something
like the following:

ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="http://(ActiveCell.Value),
NewWindow:
=True"

I tried this, but since my programming ability is so week I don't know the
syntax.
Can you help with this?

Thanks

The FollowHyperlink is nice and compact.

Add the "http://" part to your website string either in the macro or in
the
cell. Excel complains without it.

In Excel I have www.ebay.com in cell K16.
