My web page has a link to an interactive excel file. I would like to allow
prospective customers to use this file for perhaps 10 minutes as a test drive
then have the file close or end, redirecting them to a buy now page. is this
possible?
 
You could try a META refresh tag.

Switch to Code View.

in the <head> section of your code, put:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="4; url=nextpage.htm">
or
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="4; url=http://www.xyz.com/">

content = is the number of seconds to wait before redirecting the page.
url = is the page you want to send the user to. If you just want to refresh
the page they're on, put in that page's name here.
 
You will need a macro in the excel file to close it down. However,
opening an excel file downloaded from the internet that contains a macro
will probably generate a slew of warnings - not something you would want
in a demo.
