FollowHyperlink works in Mozilla but not IE

[RichW]

I have created a form with a combobox, textboxes and a command button. When
a user selects from the combobox, the textboxes display the related data.
The user is then able to press the command button; upon doing so, the user is
directed to a website that contains a pdf related to the combobox selection.

The website is a secure site. An example url follows:

https://www.somename.com:443/data/moredata/evenmoredata.pdf

In Internet Explorer, the command button gets the user to the sign-in page.

In Mozilla, the command button gets the user to the sign-in page, and once
signed in, to the pdf file--this is exactly how I wish it to work in Internet
Explorer.

All help is appreciated.

Thank you,
RichW

I forgot to mention that the command button uses the following code:

Application.FollowHyperlink Me.URL

Please ignore my request. I have learned a bit more about the problem and
