Hi
I am new to website development, so please be gentle!!
I am having difficulties in stopping a hyperlink to a Excel spreadsheet on my page from being cached by our proxyserver.
The spreadsheet is updated on the web server in the background everytime a user updates a sql record, however because the hyperlink is to a static name, when the user clicks on the link, often a older version of the spreadsheet is opened.
I have tried many caching parameters without joy and was wondering if it is possible to create a dynamic hyperlink that always looks for the latest version of the spreadsheet ?
For example if I append onto the spreadsheet the date and time everytime the spreadsheet is updated, will the hyperlink be able to find it ?
All my website code has been written in asp to date.
