I am trying to create a web page from an excel 2007 workbook. When I save it
to .html or .mht format it won't open in a web browser. Also, I am not able
to publish it directly.

It is a fairly complicated workbook (accesses a data source, has a chart,
drop downs, etc.). Is this even possible. From all my searching on the
internet it seems that I need 3rd party software to convert this directly
into some dynamic web page. Also, it seems SharePoint 07 would do it, but we
only WSS here at work.

I just wanted to explore all my options before I go back to my boss and tell
him the big fancy workbook he's been working on all week will have to just be
rewritten by me as a web application.

I hope I don't have to do that...

If you want dynamics you will need to either

1) Use MOSS 07 with Excel Services, whereby you can publish the workbook,
worksheet, one chart,one cell etc with FULL fidelity
2) Write a web app

OWC (Office web components) were deprecated in 2007 in favour of 1)
