Default Launching Excel From internet Explorer


Hi
I know it is possible to change the settings within internet explorer
to launch excel when a link is clicked but i need this web page to run
on more than one machine, so i was wondering if it is possible to use a
script in the web page that would make excel launch when the link is
clicked.
I have found a script that will work for a word document and have tried
to change it so it will function for excel but it doesn't work, any
suggestions?????
Below is the script i have been trying,
<HTML
<HEAD
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript
Dim ojbexecl
Sub Btn1_onclick()
call Openxls("file:///P:\Test.xls")
End Sub

Sub Openxls(strLocation)

Set objexecl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objexecl.Visible = true
objexecl.Spreasheets.Open strLocation
End Sub

</SCRIPT

</HEAD
<BODY
<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON NAME=Btn1 VALUE="Test.xls"
</BODY
</HTML
