Opening Excel Spreadsheet From Sharepoint Via Batch File

[RudeClown]

I am working on simple MS-DOS batch files for myself and teammates at my job to open up all of our systems (some of which are web-based) for us first thing in the morning, instead of having to open them manually one-by-one. Most of what I have done so far has been successful, but I’m running into difficulty setting up web-based Excel sheets to open via the batch file. The sheets that I’d like the file to open are accessed via a SharePoint page within our intranet. Here’s an edited example of the target URL from a link to access one of the spreadsheets:

http://sharepoint.abc.com/lrpskb/Op%20Docs%20O%20thru%20R/SpreadsheetNameHere.xls

I haven’t been able to get the Excel file to open properly whether I treat it as a URL or as an Excel file, so I am wondering if there is a way to code a simple MS-DOS batch file to open an Excel file from the web. I can get locally saved Excel files to open no problem, it’s just how to open the web-based files that I can’t figure out. I would really appreciate any assistance any of you might be able to offer!!

Anyone got an idea on how to get this to work?

I would've thought the details were clear. Can you use a .bat file to open a SharePoint spreadsheet?

Rather than clutter the forum with more threads, I was hoping to centralise the answers so that when users Google problems the answers are not in five different threads. But thank you for your input.
