I've posted this to another source, but either I'm being obtuse in my 
description or no one knows the answer yet. :-)  So, I'm going to try 
here.
Hope someone can help me clear this up.

I have several hyperlinks in a document pointing to excel and word files. 
I just noticed the Word documents are opening Read Only files in Word 
(this is normal, right?).  However, the Excel documents are opening in 
their own separate IE 5.0 screen.  My HTML code looks like this:

<a href="imp business processes\examples\Example TLS Cost Tracking.xls" 
target="_blank">TLS Cost Tracking</a>

Is it normal for excel files to open into IE rather than Excel?  I think I 
would prefer to have Excel launched.  Is there a way to force Excel to 
launch when the link is chosen?  Am I losing my mind?

Thanks,
KMW
