Question: Can I take an Excel spreadsheet - and use it as a database to dump information into a page I made in Frontpage - and update the excel sheet to update the site?

Basically I have 1100 entries that need to go into a template I created in Frontpage/Dreamweaver (Dreamweaver at home, Frontpage at work) - and I need the data to fill in on the template. Can A) It be edited and B) Can they integrate with each other?

Basically I am trying to get the same principles are MS SharePoint.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

A spreadsheet is NOT a database!!
And no, you can't use a spreadsheet as the backend database for a web site.

Create a REAL database, then you'll be on the right track.

MS Access would probably suit you best for this, it's been a few years since I've used FrontPage and Access but I'm sure that Access will let you import data from an Excel file.
