Hello Don or Xpert:

This thread is similar to what I'm looking for, however I'm not an HTML
programmer. I am publishing an excel file to the web using the Excel
Publishing feature - works great. However, I have links within the
spreadsheet that I'd like to open a NEW browser window when the link is
selected from the published Excel browser window? Make sense? In other words,
when a link is selected from the published Excel browser window, I don't want
it to replace the Excel browser window, but open a new window.

Is there a command I can append to the URL in the Excel field so that a new
browser window will open when selected? I've looked at a web page that opens
a new browser window when a certain link is selected and it has the following
format: <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" TARGET="_Top">, however I don't know
how to embed this type of command in Excel...

Thank you ahead of time.
