Hello All,

I would like to have an intranet link to an Excel document, and I would like
users to be able to have it open automatically in Excel, rather than with an
Excel type window inside Explorer - Do you know how this can be done?

Thanks.....
 
This will depend on the users browser settings. There is nothing you can
do about it.

it will open in excel if you have excel but it will open in side the browser
like PDF files open inside a browser (but still uses the Adobe Reader).
 
Thanks guys,

I used Stefan's suggestion, which works fine.

It's a shame that there is not a right click option to open in the original
application so that we don't need to re-configure people's file options...
