I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Let's say I am using a Netscape Browser from a Solaris system. Using your method, you are relying on browser intelligence to launch an executable on a system. However, you might not have the executable loaded on the system. In that case, you will not be able to see the information presented. It is my understanding that POI project is about reading Excel format and presenting it without using Excel. This way you can present the information regardless of the browser, device and other variations. IMHO, I think that is a pretty cool idea!!!!
