To be able to load an excel page into a web page your visitor will need three things.

1. They have to be browsing the web on a computer running Windows.
2. They have to be running Internet Explorer. If they are running any other browser then their browser will not be able to understand excel at all as it is a Microsoft proprioetary format and not HTML.
3. They need a copy of excel on their computer that can handle the translation of the file so that IE can understand it.

If they have all three then a simple link to an excel file should allow it to display in their browser. If they don't have all three then they will either have to download the file and read it separately or will not be able to access it at all.

Is there no way to have the excel sheet runningin the background on the web. The excel sheet is quite complicated and has 5 or 6 shhets to it, all i want ot do is have two boxes on the webpage that the user can enter values and the excel sheet calculates this and displays this on the scrren, much in the same way a currency convertor works. Is this possible?????????
