    Connection to Server

    msuner Community Member
      Greetings,

      I’m a newbie to this forum and somewhat of a novice altogether. My dilemma/project is to connect a spreadsheet to a server and integrate product information and images. The end result would be to make this information available to select customers who can view and make changes to the desired product while the administrator would be able to monitor the changes made by the customer. Is this doable or am I just dreaming along with my boss?

          Spreadsheet...do you mean you want to use an Excel file or similar file as a
          source?

            Yes that's exactly what I mean. Either Excel or something else that can be used as a dynamic page and is simple to use.

            Everything has been done in Excel but the information is transferable. Whichever application works best with a server is probably what I'll use.

              I think it's a mistake to use Excel as your data source but to each his own.
              :-)

              Anyway...which language are you programming in?

                Hi!
                Access would be a better choice depending on the amount of users connected
                to it at the same time, if you have lot of expected users connecting at the
                same time you can upgrade to MSsql or MYsql from access after your up and
                running. If already in Excel export it as a text file and import it into
                Access.
