Hi,

I have created my excel files (wohoo!) now I am trying to find an easy way to diseeminate them.

I figured out probably the best method would be to have a webpage listing them.

the code I am trying to get to work is

Code:
<a href="file:///\\servername\directoryname\foldername\filename">CNP_P&L.XLS</a>

This is not working, can anyone help?

Thanks

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
have you looked at the "CoffeeCup" freeware > Responsive Site Designer | CoffeeCup Software html and ftp etc

That said you can create a list with hyperlinks and export in excel to an html output or other web based. It won't be optimal, but functional

Then all you have to do is publish the page on your webhost
