Is it possible to open a password-protected excel spreadsheet from a link on
our website? What I am trying to do is permit people with the proper
password to access the file from our web site link. When you click on the
link to open the file, doesn't even open the dialog box asking for the
password. Is there a way I can get Excel to open the password dialog box
rather than just refuse to open - period? I use Yahoo Sitebuilder as my
website builder - if it makes a difference. Thank you!
