Default Unable to open webpage error during a web query to https site

I went to a https secure site and logged on. Clicked a link to generate a
report and a new window came up without an toolbars. Selected the type of
report to generate and that produced a webpage with a table and some other
information.

I right-clicked the table and selected "Export to Microsoft Excel" and it
opened Microsoft Excel and in cell $A$1 it said "Getting Data..."

The query prompts me for my logon information to the secure site and after I
entered it, I get "Unable to open https://***/reports/report162Input.do.
Cannot download the information you requested."

When I tried to edit the query I see a page saying: "Your Session has Timed
out. Please click OK to exit." I also get this message if I try to put the
web address directly on another webpage, as if I'm trying to bypass security.
However, I'm already in the system so I'm not bypassing it.

If I try to start from the main screen in the eqit query and select all of
the same buttons and generate the report, I see the table in the edit query
dialog box and can select it, but I still get the same error. Is there a way
I can record my steps in the query or should I try a macro. What do you think?

I cannot send you the actual webpages or any other information on the
webpages as it is confidential.
