open OQY file from http:// folder

ok.

I develop OLAP cubes for a living.. with SQL Server Analysis Services..

And I've kindof fallen in love with the .OQY file extension.

And I have a wierd question..

<DATA><PIVOT TABLE><GET DATA><OPTIONS>

And then it gives me the ability to select a new folder for selecting OQY
files.. the problem is that it won't let me choose a HTTP folder. I would
like to instruct people to add this folder: http://127.0.0.1/epo/oqy to this
list; and then they won't have to go to a webpage to select the olap
template.

For example; I have made a subfolder in my intranet site; where people can
get to the OQY files in order to create olap-based pivot Tables just by
clicking on the hyperlink.

I really just want to allow people to add this HTTP folder to their
locations in MS Query.

Is there any way to make MS Query able to add a webpage where OQY files are
listed?

Thru all this talk of UDDI; and all the garbage-- it hasn't really gotten me
anywhere.. I just want to save some beancounters a couple of steps..

Any ideas, guys?

PS - how do i put this all into beancounter language?


BTW, here is the listing of the HTML generated from the current 'http
folder'-- i could just let people browse that in excel; right??

ok.. does anyone use OQY files in Excel?

I frequently drag these into excel, in order to create a new
single-worksheet workbook with a pivotTable to the OLAP cube that is
referred to in thie OQY file

is there anyone out there that uses these things?
