I cannot open Excel files on a school website via Internet Explorer on Windows XP home edition . I get a HTTP error 403. Access denied. I'm guessing it's a IIS issue. Home edition has no IIS. Is there a work around?
The XP home is a personal computer. The file is on a school website where the a user has to login onto the school portal to access the files. The XP pro computer is also a personal computer.
Hi,
To confirm, the XP Pro and the XP Home are both attempting to access the site from home and the Pro can, but the Home cannot?
Do you get to the Portal login with both machines?
What happens then?

I access the portal using XP home, I login, double click on the file and I receive the error. I log off the portal and login the portal on XP Pro double click the file and it opens.
Hi,
Thanks,,that clarifies it nicely ( also makes it hard to solve..Cannot see why the OS would make any difference, since the web site has no idea what OS you are using..)
Same Browser and version on both?

I tried to Install MSDE (SQL Server free ed.) on XP Home Ed. It's running but from other computer I could not connect to that database using sa account. Unlike when installed on XP Professional which MSDE can perform almost like SQLServer. Does it because XP Home Ed.?
I installed MSDE on XP Home Ed. and set security for Mix mode (Windows and MSDE account). Instance name pc1name\msde. If I installed on XP Pro I can access that instance from pc2, tested. But intalled on XP Home can not.
My question is whether this final conclution or any other cause?
Get free DB, MSDE + SQL Enter Manager Trial, sufficient for small app.
