Still need Dreamweaver/Excel Help!!!

[fpd833]

First, a little info: I have made a simple 3-frame web page (header frame, nav frame and main frame). The nav frame has various links to folders on our network. Clicking on a link opens the network folder in the mainframe and displays all of the Excel documents contained therein. Double clicking on one of the Excel documents opens an instance of Excel.

All of my links in the navframe open properly in the mainframe. Each of the links opens a network folder and displays all of the files contained in that folder in the mainframe. So, after clicking a link the mainframe shows a bunch of Excel files. That works fine. It's the next step that has me stumped. Once the network folder contents is displayed in the mainframe (Excel files) and I double click on an Excel file displayed in the mainframe to open it, Excel opens. I don't want Excel to open; I want the Excel file to open in the mainframe. Does that make sense? I have seen it done before, I just can’t figure it out.

Export the xls files as html. Any file with an xls extension will open excel. If you export them, the data will remain the same but as the documents will have a .html extension they will open in your browser.

Same thing with word docs.
