The Excel file format is for a single user, whereas the Access file format is multi-user. A web site
is multi user.

You may be able to get away with using the Excel file, if you have low traffic and users are only
viewing the data (no updates by site users, etc.)

Make sure you web host support the use of the Excel file format.

If two users come to the site at the same time, though, things will get
weird. Excel as a datasource doesn't scale AT ALL....
