This should be easy, but...
I want to hard code a hyperlink (URL) in the code for a command button, via
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
what code goes here....?
End Sub
I'm using Excel 2003.
By clicking the command button I want to open a browser and connect to the
URL coded.

ThisWorkbook.Hyperlinks.FollowHyperlink Address:="Http://www.microsoft.com"

You may want to use a control from the Drawing toolbar (prettier shapes???) and
rightclick and use Assign hyperlink.

Here is code for a Forms Button:

Sub Button1_Click()
MsgBox (" ")
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="http://www.cnn.com"
End Sub

Related to the 'Address' line I get a compile error, indicating it's
expecting an expression. This applies to your solution and the one supplied
by Gary''s Student. I may need to use your alternate idea, but for now I'd
like to learn how to make this work. I'm sure there's a way, but.....? As
in all things VB, syntax and other considerations (knowledge and experience)
are paramount to success. I don't know if there is different functionality
as involves user forms and buttons, or what.
Thanks....
