The easiest way that I can think of is to import the spreadsheet into microsoft Access and display it from there. There could be another way I am not sure though.

Dear WalterIII, thanks for ur advice,but my idea behind this is, there will be a link on the web page which when clicked should show the user the excel spread sheet, something like when we click the attachements link in our emails with and excel spread sheet as an attachment, then we see the content on the same page, i want the same sort of thing.

Thanks,

choudary,

What you are describing is a feature of the browser.

> which when clicked should show the user the excel spread sheet

To show the user an excel spread sheet the user must use either Excel or the MS Office document viewer. Some versions of IE will launch the office application as an ActiveX Control inside of the IE Frame so it runs within the browser. That is a feature of the browser and you cannot control it.
