When creating an excel export from any DataRegion, should one expect that the resulting excel file would contain the field have the same URLs as the DataRegion, or does the excel file lack URLs? I thought I remembered that the excel file did have URLs, but that's not what I'm seeing now. My memory could be wrong. Thanks.

Hi Ben,
We did include URLs for a while, but stopped doing so with revision 13705 back in May 2010. I think they were generally not working as users wanted, but I don't have the exact rationale right now.
Thanks,
Josh

interesting. i could see it being annoying to click through an excel file if it keeps opening your browser.
