This is such a stupid question, but its driving me nuts. I have an Excel spreadsheet on our web server that I want to link through via an HTML link. I've been using this format:

<A href="file://MyWebServerName/Path/ExcelDoc.xls">Test</A>

... and it works sporadically on our one intranet web server and not at all on our new one.

There's got to be an easy way to link to one, right?
Thanks for your help!

Change:
<A href="file://MyWebServerName/Path/ExcelDoc.xls">Test</A>
To:
<a href="Path/ExcelDoc.xls">Test</A>

BTW: If you wanted to use an absolute path get rid of the file:// replace this with http://

EG <A href="http://MyWebServerName/Path/ExcelDoc.xls">Test</A>

You may ask, should I use relative or absolute - this will explain the difference and when you should each of them:
