Thanks! Please clarify if this should be in Javascript or ASP? I had thought you were doing this in a webpage with ASP making it.
Also, I had understood you basically wanted a web version of the Excel sheet so where would the info come from. In other words instead of the cell reference there should be some form field or other reference to get values. Please provide an idea of those.
It was my understanding this wasn't where you were trying to actually read the Excel file and data directly using the ASP/Javascript.

well in the one calc. that is currently working it is a .ASP page but the calcs are done with a javascript on the page. Thats why i referenced both javascript and asp.
second, thats part of my dilema is in the excel sheet it references some fields that hold a lot of data and i was not sure how to do that.
thirdly, I cant make a connection to an excel file and read data like a connection to a database since it is not allowed and my page would get flagged by a weekly scan of our network if the scanner sees a connection to excel as a data source.
I really appreciate all your help.
jlcannon,
Sorry for my delay in responding but I wanted a chance to reread your response when I was fresher and then forgot about this. I have been pretty busy and have had little EE time.
I don't see any way Javascript or ASP can help then. If you can't use them to connect to the file then there will be no way to get the info. It would seem the only solution is viewing the file directly from the browser (some will, when properly configured, view Excel sheets) or get something else on the server, like a DB, to read the file and get the info for the ASP and Javascript to use. The latter option may still not be "allowed" but really is the best.
If you elaborate on what you are trying to get as a result or your need then maybe there is another way to do it. The browser and client/server languages may not be the best. Is this an Internet or intranet? You mentioned another page but it seems that must not be getting information from Excel either. How does it get info (or does it not at all)? I guess I am asking and mentioning this last stuff to try to get the result you want even though the method seems like it must change.
Let me know how this helps or if you have a question.

Is it possible for you to post the calculations you need and info necessary in just a comment and snippet? It sounds like they are smaller. I don't have time to look through the Excel file now but might be able to provide the ASP anyways.
