    I sent a link to my brother's windows 7 computer and his gmail address but the link doesn't open. Here it is.

    If I copy and paste it does open a page with a chart. I am using windows xp and sending the link from outlook express 6. Any idea what the problem may be?

    Your link opens fine in IE9 on Windows 7 - can your brother open the link?

    It's possible he has some security software that blocks tinyurl addresses.
