Display Excel file in Internet - an interesting question

C

Charles

Hi all Excel/IE programming Gurus,

I developed one Excel 2000 application (has several
PivotTables/PivotCharts, all these tables download their data from SQL
Server 2000 DB). Although the project works fine as a stand along
application, but after I put this application online (simple provide a
link to it and view this Excel file by IE 6.0), sometimes I got
problems.

--I can not put this file in a frameset
--Some class function not work properly

It seems I have to "Refresh" the whole web page to solve those
problems.
I searched online and heard:"As Excel file is NOT native web files
(Like html or asp file), so avoid use Excel file display in Web page
as possible as you can"

Is this Excel/IE statement true or false? What I am concerned is, as
we use net more and more often and we have a lot of Excel (.xls)
files, what can/can't we do to make Excel avaliable in
Internet/Intranet?

I know one can convert Excel file to html file first then display
online, but in doing so (converting) you will lose a lot features
Excel provide. What I want is put Excel file online straight away.

Any relavent article/source please recommond to me.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,

Charles
