| David,
Thank you for responding. I appreciate your help as I was not aware that
office would open a new client to view the spreadsheet.
However, I am not sure exactly what you mean by getting the office app to
not request anything from the site. The Excel Spreadsheet (report) is
generated on-the-fly by the server. Doesn't that, of necessity, mean that
Office must request the document from the server.
Basically, the process is that there is a dll on the server that opens and
excel template, populates it with some data and then returns the "new"
spreadsheet to the client in a new browser window. Would it make any
difference if we returned the ss in the same browser window from which it is
requested?
Perhaps if we wrote the excel file to some place on the server that has only
HTTP enabled, and then pass the ss from there?
Thanks again for the help you have already provided and, in advance, for any
additional wisdom you can supply.
