I have a web page in my company that is mearly a table with info on each person.

Name
ICQ #
Email
etc.

This info is kept in an excel spreadsheet that I then run through a mailmerge when we get new hires to produce the code, then copy & past over old code & poof.

What I'd like to have is a template type page that calls upon a csv file or access file to pull the info into each dynamically. So I just have to upload a new csv or access file.

Is this possible, what language is best? Where do I start looking?

Thanks.

That's a good Perl CGI application if you want to keep your server side simple.

ASP works very well with Excel and Access, also.

Any good places to start figuring out how to do this?

I'd guess the CGI or ASP forum.

Best Wishes,
