I have a client that is in desperate need to share Excel 2000 and beyond (XP) documents through the web. He wants to be able to post an Excel Document on a web site that is edited/updated by one or more privledged individuals, and be able to viewand download these updates into the local copy of Excel that is running on his workstation.

Is this only possible with the newest version of Excel, or are there add-ons or utilities that can make this possible? I am already aware of how to post a static version of an Excel Workbook to the web, and want to take it just a step further.

Thanks for the help!

Each individual needs to be able to access the Web server with writing permission. It is really quite simple to do this. It is posted just like what you call a static page. It can then be saved by each user. When saving they will be prompted fora username and password. How you enable this depends on your Web service. Please list additional details if you need specifics.

What if it needs to be done through a third party ISP Page? Where the ISP has all control over web page security...modifying advanced permissions is not an option. Sorry I wasn't more clear about that one.

Type interactive in the Help file. When you save the Excel File, use Save as Web page and put a check mark in the Add interactivity box.
Another way to go is with Excel Web queries:

Data>Get External Data > New Web Query.
