Re: Start MS-excel from oracle on clientPC

if you are using forms, you can use the DDE and OLE handlers to do this. There are examples on metalink. you cannot do this in a web environment. absolutely has to be on client server mode.

to do it in web mode you need to run excel off the server and show it to the user.
