For a website, are Excel scripts better than other programming lan
You could get thousands of answers to your question. What is Better? What
is more organized? I guess you don't like the other programming lanugages that is why you are asking the question. What don't yo like about the other languages then you can ask is excel better. Excel scripts are Visual Prgramming Laguage (VBA) which is similar to microsoft Visual Basic VB6 and VB.Net. The advantages of microsoft languages is you can use the spreadsheett for I/O and storing data. You can also access Access, Word, Power Point, Internet Explorer, Outlook from the language. But there are things you can't do or easier to do from the other languages you mentioned. Each programming language has its advantages and disadvantages. None are perfectrt for every application.

VBA is not "for" website programming (since you mention it)

Tim: I think you measn that VBA is not meant for creating websites, it is
acceptable for downloading data from websites. table stored on websites with VBA can be downloaded into a speadsheet and manipultes like any other spreadsheet data.

If the file is downloadable to the user computer, yes. Otherwise, no.
If the file on the web is designed to respond to a user interaction, it could be described as the code running, but it would only be effective on the web page and not on the user computer. I am sure this is a clear a mud. "Larry" wrote in message ...

Yes, if you allow it to, but that would be very unwise except maybe in the
context of an intranet. Tim "Larry" wrote in message ...

The excel file has VBA code and the customer can press buttons to activate
the VBA code. I would like for the excel file to run on the website only and not be downloadable. How can this be done?

I don't think that's going to work.

Thank you for your reply.
Can we upload the excel file as .XLS to the website. When the customer enters the website, and presses the button to go to the excel file, can the website download the excel file into the customer's computer's temp folder. The excel file would auto_open in the customers computer. So we would store the excel file on the website, but download and run the excel file on the PC computer. Would this work? -- Larry "JLGWhiz" wrote: If the file is downloadable to the user computer, yes. Otherwise, no.

When the customer enters the website, and presses the button to go to the excel file, can the website download the excel file into the customer's computer's temp folder. Not exactly - the website does nothing other than serve up content: the browser (user) decides what happens with the downloaded content. They could choose to open it (in Excel or their browser, depending on config and settings) or to save it somewhere on their computer. The excel file would auto_open in the customers computer.

Thank you for your quick response.
You said they could choose to open it in excel. So if we upload the excel file (.XLS) to the website, the customer could choose to open it in excel. Is this correct? Presently, we have a Power Point file on the website, the customer can open and play the Power point file by pushing a button on the website. Can the excel file be opened the same way? Push a button on the website and the excel file opens? -- Larry "Tim Williams" wrote: Comments inline Tim "Larry" wrote in message ... Thank you for your reply.
