Microsoft URI Scheme

If any of you are in a Windows environment and have Microsoft Office installed, do me a favor and try and open Excel directly from a specially constructed URI:

In the application at the bottom of this post the [Open in Excel] Rich Text formula field synthesizes this <a> element which when clicked should open the Formula Function Reference CSV Report directly in Excel:

<a href="ms-excel:ofv|u|https://login.quickbase.com/db/6ewwzuuj?a=q&qid=6&opts=csv">Open FFR in Excel</a>

This is the formula being used:

"<a href='ms-excel:ofv|u|" & [URL] & "'>Open FFR in Excel</a>"

Here is the application:

I can't test this myself at the moment as I do not have Microsoft Office installed on my boxen.

Please tell me what happens and what your configuration is (OS, and Browser).

Thanks!
