I want to (in the back end) have an excel sheet that I can adjust the values, add new values etc.Then in the front end display these values in the form of an excel spreadsheet.
For this purpose, I have uploaded an excel sheet in the public_html of my website and am sending this a href link to retrieve that excel sheet.
<a href ="myfile.xls.lnk"> click here </a>

But its not happening that way. Am getting the result as link is broken.

Could someone point out where am going wrong and what has to be done to get what I want.

Regards,
niru

Why myfile.xls.lnk instead of myfile.xls
