Open an Excel file in the Excel application

[Steve Roberts]

Is there a way to open an excel file using a hyperlink (or another option)
and have it open in the actual Excel application instead of IE?

This is a company intranet so the excel file is located on our servers with
a mapped drive. The server is Windows NT 4.0 running IIS4.0 and frontpage
2000.

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve,

Yes provided that you're willing to create a HTA to handle it.

Being a novice I have not idea what a HTA is. Where can I find info on how
to do that?
