opening up an excel spreadsheet in asp.net

Hi,
I have an excel spreadsheet in a location and I wish to open it from a
link in asp.net page.

How do I create an instance of excel and then open this document from a link

Thanks

Robert

You don't need to create an instance of Excel. If a user clicks the link
(and assuming he has Excel installed on his computer), the workbook will
open.
