Localhost hyperlink causes error

[dzirkelb]

I have a link to http://localhost/ which causes an error when trying to go to the page...the error is:

Unable to open http://localhost/. Cannot download the informtion you requested.

Does anyone know why this is? It works if I place other hyperlinks there...I have tried the local host also as 127.0.0.1 and it didn't work.

This also doesn't work as Application.FollowHyperlink "http://localhost/" in vba

I figured it to be a permissions problem..thanks!
