Hello all,
I am trying to find a simple way to display the contents of an Excel spreadsheet in the body of an HTML page. The page does not have frames (and I don't want to add any) and I do not want to simply link to the spreadsheet as I would like to user to still be able to view my sidebar and header. I tried the <EMBED> tag but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a simple way to accomplish this?

Hi Everyone,
I'm still on the hunt for a resolution to my problem. I tried using an ActiveX Spreadsheet Control object which looks great but it displays an empty spreadsheet. Does anyone know if I can customize this control to display an existing speadsheet? The spreadsheet that want to display does not have to be editable, so if you have any other ideas....

OK, I've managed to get my excel spreadsheet embedded on an HTML page using the publish feature in Excel, but it only publishes the first worksheet. There are three worksheets in the file. I published them checking off the 'add interactivity' feature in hopes that it would publish all three worksheets on tabs as they appear in Excel but it still only shows the one worksheet. Does anyone know how I can get all three worksheets to publish either together using the 'add interactivity' feature? Also, even though my worksheets do not need interactivity, I am using this feature because I like the look and layout better, it provides scroll bars which is great because my worksheets are quite wide and don't look nice on the web page as tables because they scroll over to the right too far. The only visual problem that I find is that the column widths get all messed up when I publish, they don't stay the same width that they are in the file. Does anyone know how to make sure that my column widths are respected when I publish?
