i want to open an Excel file as default home page for a folder
in outlook 2003.

I went to home page tab of the properties of that folder and
gave the excel path as well as Show the page check box as clicked.

But i am not able to view the Excel sheet. Instead some garbage
values are coming. But i am able to see .htm files and .xml files.

What should i do to see the excel file? is the security features
are the problem for Outlook2003 also?
