Interactive Inventory

I'm trying to build a website that allows many users to
update a live inventory of items. I've originally gone
about it by inserting an interactive spreadsheet
component into the webpage, but this doesn't work since
the values reset themselves once the user leaves the
page. What would be a better way of doing this? I have
considered forms - but that'd be the same as writing it
down on a sheet of paper or emailing the person in
charge. The whole point is minimal maintenance. Any
suggestions?

Actually you were on the correct path with the form. Use
the form to update an online database. Would most likely
entail some server side script
