Publish Spreadsheet to Web

M

MJS

I'm looking for simple/fast options to read/write (using Javascript) to an
excel spreadsheet from a web page. One of my thoughts was to publish a
spreadsheet to the web page which can be edited (ideally) which would
eliminate the need to code read/writes. I'm using 2007 now and I know you
used to be able to do this with 2000 (I think).

Can this still be done? If so, how? If not, other ideas?

Is this even the best place to post this question?

All feedback is welcome!

Hi M.,

You may want to use the link below to also post this in the MS Excel discussion group. When posting there you may want to clarify
if you're trying to do this from inside of Excel or externally. In Office 2000 you could publish directly to a website if the host
service had MS FrontPage Server Extensions installed.

Thanks. I've posted it to a couple more places. Hopefully that will surface
some ideas. But to answer your question....a LONG time ago I believe I did a
save as or there was a publish option from inside excel which produced an
html version of my spreadsheet (I'm really pretty sketchy on how this worked
way back when). I then pasted that as a web gem inside my web page. I ran
into versioning issues (both browser and excel because "I think" a visitor
had to have some active-x or com files installed on their PC in order to
access the page but if you were running current versions of everything it was
okay). Anyway, for my purposes, I would be fine with this because I'm
looking for a quick and dirty solution for demonstration purposes only.

So anybody....help????
