I'm going to make a website that has some logic to it. It runs an algorithm on an excel spreadsheet. The excel spreadsheet is NOT on the server with the website though, but is on the users computer.

Right now I'm thinking of either using dotNetRemoting in some way or somehow make it into a webservice. With a webservice, maybe they can have an executable file of some sort which they double click and it calls my webservice. I'm learning about this as I go.

If I edit my webservice algorithm, will these propagate to the user? Do they need to compile something is what I'm asking.

Thanks for any pointers!

Not a classic ASP issue, you might try a Dot Net group for better
help. But still, you're trying to manipulate a client's files, so
you're going to need something client side to assist.
