Opening downloaded IE files in Excel
Hi,
I am trying to force a downloaded xls file from Internet Explorer to open in Excel 2003 directly, instead of in a browser window. This seemed to work in Excel 2000, but now does not. Any suggestions? |

This works for my PC, but what if I want to put something out on our company
Intranet. Is there any HTML coding that can force documents to open in the appropriate office program instead of in an Internet Explorer browser window? "Dave Peterson" wrote: maybe...

Heck if I know.
If you don't get an answer here, you can take your question down the hall to the internet.explorer newsgroups.

Opening downloaded IE files in Excel
The problem I see with that suggested article is that it applies up to Excel
2002, but does not list 2003, so I'd be reluctant to try the registry edit... but I'm edgy about doing anything with registries. From what I've been able to find, Office 2003 handles linked files differently than all the past versions -- so I'm not convinced this article has our answer. I know the first method suggested in the article doesn't apply to IE 6.0, or if it does, needs to be more specific about where to find the option it says needs to be set (or what that option is). There is no such thing, that we can find. Has anyone actually tried either of the suggestions in the article, I wonder? Did it work? -- FoxCole "Drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said nothing."
