Hyperlinking Excel Spreadsheet

J

Jackie

I have an excel spreadsheet that I have hyperlinked in frontpage
located on our intranet. The problem with it is that the save functio
is not there. There are mutiple users making changes and we need to b
able to save it. The save-as feature is there but the save feature i
not. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong or how to correct it so th
save feature is there

Users can Not save an Excel worksheet to your server unless they are logged in as FP authors
- You will need a server side script and an alternative to using a spreadsheet (usually a Database)

I don't think what you're trying to do is possible;

Problems you'll encounter is

1) server write-permissions and/or FTP access to your server needed for
everyone who is working on the excel files to be able to re-save the files
to the server;

2) Multi-users working on one file at the same time may not be possible as
one would overwrite the changes of another. I know that working on a normal
network, MS Office won't allow two people to open one file at the same time.
It comes up with an error such as "This file is already in use and cannot be
edited ...do you want to open as Read Only?" or something similar).

So a similar situation arises across the internet - it just won't work in
the way you want.
