Hosting a Excel Spreadsheet online

[MMarks2]

I would like to host a excel spreadsheet on my webserver for my partner and I to update online through a web interface. As so we do not have to download and update, save and upload everytime. We would rather be able to just look at the sheet and update then save.

Any help with this?

You need someone who can write server side script. php, asp, or cgi.

Are there any php installs that already had done this?

Frontpage has a built-in tool that will allow an Excel Spreadsheet to be hosted on an html web page. It can be viewed and changed. But the saved changes must be saved into the USER'S computer. You'd then have to upload the changes back to the Server.

SharePoint will also let you open up a document directly from the web site, work on it, and then directly save it back to the web (SharePoint) site. But it doesn't have online viewing of the spreadsheet.

php that can read excel documents is available but making changes and then writing back to excel format is in my opinion not going to happen. if you want to be able to update your going to need some custom script. If you give up on the data being stored in an excel document you may be able to find a script that will suit your needs or at least write one with much greater ease.

This software makes it possible http://www.badblue.com/helpxls.htm but it runs a web server off your computer.

Here's a great FREE resource that might help you:
This spreadsheet contains an HTML generator program that converts a boring list of spreadsheet data into a nice-looking HTML page.

I don't know of one that goes in the other direction, from html to excel.
