Well, I can get the frame to appear on the page, but some Yahoo error message is displayed instead of the file. I've checked the file name in the code. Perhpas a Yahoo thing?

Amy, no it is not going to work. You are trying to place an excel spreadsheet in an I-frame. That won't work. This is why I suggested making an excel screenshot.

You can also save or export the Excel page as an html page which should end with the htm or html extension with the code setup already. You may need to alter that code a bit to show up correctly as it doesn't always save it perfectly, but it does pretty good. You should then be able to use that page in an iframe or any other way you want to show it. Shouldn't have to do a screen shot to accommodate it.

Yes, the html export has been mentioned and is being attempted.

The error is from the html file in the iframe not being found by the server.
myexcel.html

Make sure it's on the server in the same directory and you'll be good to go.
