    Since we're going the whole nine yards here, let's toss in the following
    as well:

    1. This will of course give a different reading in the status bar
    2. More importantly it will bypass the so-called 'popup blocker' in IE XP
    SP2

    It's a hand-made Excel spreadsheet using OWC11 for Office 2003. One might
    suspect that the older versions will function the same.

    Perhaps someone with more knowledge can get it to automate:

    'foo.ActiveCell.openHyperlink
    'foo.Worksheets(1).Hyperlinks(1).Follow

    Then you're back in the popup business.
