APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, when used with:
 * Microsoft Office Excel 2007

SYMPTOMS
When you specify http://localhost in the workbook URL parameter for an Excel Web Access Web Part, you cannot locate the Microsoft Office Excel 2007 workbook. This issue occurs if you create an Excel Web Access Web Part on a computer that resides in a farm environment and is running Excel Services for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.



CAUSE
This issue typically occurs in a SharePoint Server 2007 farm environment in which the Web front-end server and the Excel Services are located on separate computers. In this case, the http://localhost URL maps to the Web front-end server and not to the computer that is running Excel Services.



RESOLUTION
We recommend that you specify the full URL to the workbook in the workbook URL parameter.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
