Open an Excel file from a web page for editing. How?

[Guest]

I've uploaded an Excel file. I want to put it on a web page. When I drag tp a page it gives me a hyperlink to the file. Good enough. However, when I click the hyperlink the Excel files opens up in a browser view that is un-editable. I want it to open up in Excel to edit & save. How do I get the hyperlink to open the file in Excel the program?

The user would have to save the file to their HD to edit, you can not have the user edit the file
and then save it back on your web site.

Is an Access DB the answer then?

Yes, with ASP coding or via the FP Database component, site must be hosted on a Windows IIS server.
