Excel template behavior in IE

B

BobB

I have created forms as Excel templates and posted them to the company
intranet. When I open them in Firefox, I get a copy - not the original
template - which is just the behavior I want.

However, when I open the template file across the intranet with
Internet Explorer, I get the original template itself - definitely not
the right behavior. Then when I browse to another page, IE offers to
save changes back to the original template file. DEFINITELY not the
behavior I want.

This happens whether I set file types to open the Excel files
separately in Excel or within a browser window.

Is there any way to control the behavior of an Excel template link in
IE so that a copy - and not the original file - opens?

(I need to keep the users standardized on IE, although I prefer FF.)

TIA
