Need Live data in web Excel chart

[Brian Dolbeare]

Hello,

I was just wondering if there was anyway programmatically
to have an Excel chart on a web page that pulls data from
an Excel file on the network somewhere. I would like the
chart on the web page to update automatically as the data
in the Excel workbook changes.

Thanks

The way I can think of would be to use VBScript in ASP to create an
Excel object, open and update the file and run a macro that would save
the chart as a .gif file and then display that .gif.

I would need more details about what you want to do before I can get
much more specific (e.g., where the data comes from, etc).

Sounds like a very interesting idea, I'd love to help!

Mark
