Default Open Excel file on a remote server

I have an Excel file that I am keeping on a server that I would like to have my users open. The problem with this file is that it is 35 megs and one of the users is on a VPN somewhere 2000 miles away. To make matters worse, the data in the file is changed everyday so users need to reload the file everyday. I'm sure you see the inherent problem with d/ling a 35 meg file every day. The solution I see to get around this is if I can extract specific cells worth of data as that is all the user needs. So, I would like to open the Excel file on the server for reading without actually having to download the entire file. Is this possible? If not, are there any other solutions?
