link to external doc without download

[LintnerR]

Dear all,

I do hope my Enlglish is good enough to explain my problem.

I created a Little "INTRAWEB" which includes links to external docs like *.xlsx, *.pdf, *.docx.
Those files are located on my server which is accessable from all clients within the network.
I want to achive that my user clicks on the link … the eg. "Excel based purchase lists" opens and the user can edit it. After saving and closing all other users can do the same and add their stuff to the same file/list.

My problem with Firefox/Chrome/Opera is that those browsers will download the linked target file before opening it.

This is exactly what I do want to avoid. I Need those Browsers to open the linked docoment directly from the Server.

sample link that i use: \\server\public\01 Intranet\Purchase list.xlsx

Can anybody please help me ?

Thanks to you all

Rgds

As far as I now you cannot directly link to a file on a local server because of security risks.
