excel from the web

[peter]

Hi,
Can a macro driven (or any) excel xls be loaded onto a web
server, called from a java script (or any other way) and
run such that the changes made on the sheet will save back
to the calling sheet. Are there third party products that
will aid in this project.

I have written a production logging ss that needs to be
accessed by various branches using our intranet. Various
people will log in make changes and SAVE.

If this is not the right approach, I can put it on our
terminal server.

thanks
peter

Hello Peter,

Why not use CGI to collect the data and store it in a central database
or flat file.

Excel can query for the data and retrieve the results via another CGI
that will spit out the collected information directly to your sheet.

This article can help with the latter portion of the method:
