Hi,
I need to create a ticker(marquee) that shows data from an excell sheet. It regards to prices. U can think of it as an ticker with the latest share-info. How can i create this at best? Has anyone a sample?
Thanx for you info.

you will need asp or asp.net to do this. I would suggesting using access instead of excel though. Access is more designed for doing online data and working with servers where as excel is makes things in pretty charats for people to read. Though you can use excel I do not reccomend it. You will need asp or asp.net like I said to read the data base and then you will need to put the data you select into a label and in your html put that label into a marquee tag or use one of those dhtml marquees.

I suggest you use a java applet to display results. The excel data you can save as csv and provide for the applet. I have such a ticker, please visit:
