Well - I can't believe it. Is it really true that you cannot link or import
an xls file over HTTP? There's no problem when I copy the file to my
desktop and import or link to it using the Get Ext. Data wizard, but if I
try to link / import the same file over HTTP I quickly receive an error.

BTW: The file is in a WSS document library but I also tried moving it to a
standard IIS site as well - still no luck.
 
Just an FYI...

It is true that you cannot link to nor import xls files from an HTTP
location. However, I did find that you can do this with XML files in case
someone is interested. Cool feature, but really of no use to me.
