Is it possible to open an excel file in its current location not download it


I am writing a small web site for a company Intranet and have the following question that may be simple. Is it possible to open an Excel file from it's current location on the network instead of downloading it. So that any changes made are made to the actual file and not a downloaded version of it?

Thanks

Matt


Solution

  • Yes, it's possible, but then you would have to specify the address of the file in the local network, not as an HTTP address on the web server.

    The user would naturally need to have access to the file on the network share, with write permission.
