Excel Spreadsheet

[Guest]

Does anyone know if FP 2002 can sort a spreadsheet that
is cut and pasted on the web? If so how? If not, how
can you put information linked to a pdf file on the web
that is changing with each day.

I don't believe this is possible.

If not, how can you put information linked to a pdf file
on the web that is changing with each day.

Databases work much better for this sort of thing. Put the
data in a database, and then the Database Results Wizard
can filter and sort it any way you like.

You won't be able to sort it that way, but you can link
the web page to your spreadsheet, however. If you create
a data access page with the spreadsheet as your driver,
you can then have links available that will sort the data
for you. Just upload the entire spreadsheet to your
server whenever you need to update the results. Some may
tell you that a spreadsheet makes a poor driver; don't
buy it. Ours works beautifully and is far easier for
novices to update.
