Hi
I am trying to open an excel workbook from a webpage using a hyperlink.
the problem is if someone has it open and it opens in Read only excel
crashes
Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?


Thanks in advance

Kevin
 
I don't have an answer, but have you isolated the problem to one workbook (or
even one pc)?

(guesses follow:)
If it's just the one pc, maybe cleaning the windows temp folder or moving the
user's *.xlb file temporarily out of their XLStart folder would help. (Maybe xl
is crashing for other reasons.)

Chip Pearson has some notes at:

(From the lack of responses, it doesn't look like many have seen this problem--I
haven't. Maybe a trip down to the MSIE newsgroups (you are using internet
explorer???) would yield more help.)

Good luck,
