Can I use excel to publish information to cells on a website?

[Stephen M]

I run a Racing league website on the xbox 360. I use excel spreadsheet to
enter things the race results. Then i have a totals page that list every
drivers wins totals, tops 5's and etc.

My question is this-
Is there a way i can publish this spreadsheet to my website, and then then
have my individual webpages pull information from the spread sheet. That way
i don't have to update every drivers information.

My website is Nuffracingleague.com you can go to
www.nuffracingleague.com/driverbustersnm.html to see the individual cells i
would like to have the information in.

Thanks, i hope i have explained this in a way to understand.

You would have to use ASP / ASP.net, but I would suggest that you use Access, as it's file format is
design for multi-users, whereas Excel file format is designed for single users.

You can use the FP database components.

Your site must be hosted on a Windows IIS web server to use ASP / ASP.net and Access / Excel.

Is there a how-to-guide to do this sort of thing. I have just made my data
base but i have no idea what to do in access. or how to get it to a mdb

Look under FP help for Database.

As long as you're using Excel, save the pages as web pages (.htm/.html) and
place them in an Iframe on each driver's page.

DON'T DO IT!

The only component of the Office Suite that is capable of decent html is
FrontPage.

Using Excel, Word, Publisher, et al will bloat markup considerably, and may
introduce components that only render in IE

The inline frame wouldn't work.....

I guess i need to hire someone to do this for me.

If site hosted on a Windows IIS web server, convert the Excel data to Access and the use the FP
Database component to retrieve and display the content.
