Problem using OWC

[Problem using OWC]

I used this way
<OBJECT data="XXXX.htm"
classid=clsid:0002E510-0000-0000-C000-000000000046></OBJECT>
to show an excel spreadsheet in the web.

The problem is that,if the client installed office 2000(OWC 9),the
spreadsheet can be displayed,if the client installed OWC 10 or OWC 11,the
spreadsheet can't be displayed.
why?

If the client install office 2003,how can the spreadsheet be displayed?

This is a common problem. Owc9 and 10 and not compatible, you will need to
write a sniffer script to determine which version the client has and push
down the appropriate version to the client. Google in here for sniffer
script.

[will the sniffer script be rejected]

will the sniffer script be rejected by IE if the client set the Security
level high?

No, not likely. Sniffer script is javascript which is allowed to run on the
client. If the client turns off javascript, all bets are off. I'm not aware
of any user doing that these days.
