Viewing an excel doc. on a webpage

[snipesnab]

I have an excel document that I would like to view on one of my web pages. How can I import the data on the excel activ x control on my webpage.

If I add an excel active x control to the page and go into its properties and click on the import data tab it allows me to put in a url but i need to put in a file path ie \\fwpdc\public folder\test\test.xls for example - how would i change that into a url to display the data i need located on the same server.

Place the spreadsheet in your website's root directory or a folder in your web and then point to it.

I'm not sure what to put for the url if I need to put the location of the file even if I have put it in the root of my web folder in \\my documents\my webs... as it asks for a url and not a file location.

Please could you give me an example.

Place a folder in your root web and name it something like "pictures" (\\my documents\my webs\yourwebsitename\pictures). Place the picture here, and it should accept this file path.

snipesnab,

I'll also give you an example of what I'm talking about.

Using my above example of your website location (\\my documents\my webs\yourwebsitename\pictures), if your website name is

http://www.yourwebsite.com,

then the location of this file if you create a pictures folder and place the file there would be

http://www.yourwebsite.com/pictures/excelfilename.xls
