I'm reading it third time and cannot see the difference. What does it mean "opening in browser only"? What does it mean "navigate to one of the xls file? What's "direct link"?

direct path is like this www.abc.com/downloads/aaa.xls ,

browser is navigating to www.abc.com/downloads/aaa.xls which should open file download dialouge box rather to be disply the file in broweser

Without seeing the code, it is really impossible to answer - post relevant code fragments (not your entire file) so that we have a clue what we are working with!

I believe it depends on how the browser is configured to handle file types. I has got nothing to do with the WebBrowser control or your application. This[^] link might help you.

Open My Computer.
On the Tools menu (or the View menu), click Folder Options (or click Options).
Click the File Types tab.
In the Registered file types list, click the specific Office document type (for example, Microsoft Excel Worksheet), and then click Advanced (or click Edit).
In the Edit File Type dialog box, click to clear the Browse in same window check box (or click to clear the Open Web documents in place check box).
Click OK.

ttried this but no luck
