Hi all,

I have a question about linking to an MS Excel file.  I have created 
several company sites that all sit on a server behind a firewall, hence I 
cannot give you the URLs. Everyone in the company uses NN as it comes 
"pre-installed" on all our systems, so I haven't tried this with IE. 
Whenever someone clicks on a link to an Excel file, they get the "Open it 
or Save it" option. When selecting "Open it", it always opens _behind_ the 
browser. The taskbar shows that Excel is open, but one must minimize the 
browser in order to see the Excel file. MS Word documents launch in _front_ 
of the browser with no problem. I create the link the same way for both 
file types.
Does anyone have an idea why this might be happening and how I might 
resolve it?

Thanks,
Teri Mobley
