The problem is the last 'l' of the URL is wrapping to the next line and is being dropped from the URL. Try this one? http://160.45.63.11/Projects/TDWG-SDD/Docs/SDD_P_Data_SpecialStates.html Or maybe cut and paste this one into your browser: 160.45.63.11/Projects/TDWG-SDD/Docs/SDD_P_Data_SpecialStates.html Hope this helps.
