    Excel Workbook for those without excel

    I have a small problem i'm hoping someone can help with.

    I've created an office golf pool using excel 2010, which uses web queries to update the leaderboard and such.

    My problem lies with that some of the people in the pool, don't have excel on home computers, so they can't open my workbook. I've tried saving the workbook as a HTML file (everyone can open that), but it no longer updates the web query. Is this something that can be fixed on my end? Or is there any other way that I can share my workbook with colleagues who don't have excel and still get the updated web queries?

    Any help would be great!

    That sucks!,
    I wonder if you save each HTML differently, such as week1, week2, etc., then the other peoples computer would not try to open the same file all the time.

    There is also Google Docs, where you can upload the file and anybody with the internet can download the file.

    Maybe you can start a web site, there are lots of free web sites available where you can display a picture of the spreadsheet and upload the newest file.

    You can also "print screen" the worksheet and attach it to your email.

    Lots of options nowadays.

    Thanks for the ideas. I can easily get them images of the results after each round...it's just the workbook works by updating scores and other stats in real time. Was hoping someone would have had a similar problem.
