Interfacing Excel to a Web Browser?
I have been tasked with a rather daunting task of interfacing an Excel
dictator application to a web based application where the web based application has no API, provides no Web Services, etc. I looked through the programming group but didn't find much regarding this. Has anyone ever interfaced Excel to a web application via the browser? Seems like it should be viable. Thanks a million in advance, Bryan44 |

Thanks a million in advance, Bryan44 I don't know if I'm following you, but are you asking if it's possible to "speak" to Excel from the web app? If so, I would think you could just use the Excel API in the web app rather than connect to the web app from Excel. Thanks, Cory |

Interfacing Excel to a Web Browser?
Cory,
Unfortunately, I wasn't provided that option. The web app has long since been completed and they don't wish to open up their services to programmatic updates nor can I connect to their backend database. Nothing like having all bridges burned. Nonetheless, I am now looking to see if it is possible for me to interface Excel directly to a web app through it's web browser interface. So that the web app knows not nor cares if it is a person or my Excel app. Any other method isn't open to me as there is no API nor web services directly available. So my choices are so few.
