Open Excel With Internet Explorer

[jasmak]

I have an Excel spreadsheet application that uses VBA to link to various spreadsheets on several servers. It has a customized menu bar written in VBA as well. What I would like to do is browse to an ASP page on my website that will open this spreadsheet application within Internet Explorer. So far I am able to get to the point of having the application open in my browser window. But none of the VBA custom menu items appear. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Right now the users are content using this as a desktop application, but for obvious reasons we want to put it on the web without having to rewrite all of the spreadsheet code into Active Server Pages.

Thanks.
