Hi all,
Is there a way to link thru a simple HTML page thru an intranet to a file on a server on the network. Basically, I want to link to an Excel spreadsheet from an internal web page so that users can open the file. They all have access to the network drive where the file exists.

Thanks for any help
Al

You need to create Virtual Folder and point it to the directory on the network, then you files will be available through your site http://www.yoursite.com/virtualfoldername/file.xls
If you use IIS then right click on site >> New >> Virtual Folder
