Default For a website, are Excel scripts better than other programming

Why don't you just try it ?

Thank you for your quick response.
You said they could choose to open it in excel.
So if we upload the excel file (.XLS) to the website, the customer could
choose to open it in excel. Is this correct?
Presently, we have a Power Point file on the website, the customer can
open
and play the Power point file by pushing a button on the website.
Can the excel file be opened the same way? Push a button on the website
and
the excel file opens?

Yes.

When the customer
enters the website, and presses the button to go to the excel file, can
the
website download the excel file into the customer's computer's temp
folder.


Not exactly - the website does nothing other than serve up content: the
browser (user) decides what happens with the downloaded content. They
could
choose to open it (in Excel or their browser, depending on config and
settings) or to save it somewhere on their computer.

The excel file would auto_open in the customers computer.
So we would store the excel file on the website, but download and run
the
excel file on the PC computer.
Would this work?


Only if the end-user allows it (and unless it's a https connection I -
and I
suspect many others - would not)

If the file is downloadable to the user computer, yes. Otherwise, no.
If the file on the web is designed to respond to a user interaction,
it
could be described as the code running, but it would only be effective
on
the web page and not on the user computer. I am sure this is a clear
a
mud.

If someone who has Excel on their computer goes the website and
opens
the
Excel file from the website, will the VBA code run?

I was going by the title of the post which was "For a website..."
It didn't mention downloading, so I took it literally.

Tim: I think you measn that VBA is not meant for creating
websites,
it
is
acceptable for downloading data from websites. table stored on
websites
with
VBA can be downloaded into a speadsheet and manipultes like any
other
spreadsheet data.

VBA is not "for" website programming (since you mention it)

Maybe you could elaborate a bit ?

I'm new to Excel and I'd like to know since it's more
organized
are
the
scripts better than other programming language scripts such as
Ajax,
JavaScript, Java FX, etc.
