we are constantly been directed by dfes cfbt etc etc to links to excel spreadsheets which open in explorer i can't seem to find a way to download them offline. I'm not sure if LEA have blocked .xls and as i don't give the staff right click (link)download as rights i need to find a way to do this another way.
I can bring up the excel toolbar in an explorer window but it won't allow me to save it ? any ideas?
cheers as always in advance.
