Hi !

Thank you very much for writing...

Sort of like the first choice...

>...want the user to upload an Excel spreadsheet that's displayed
> on a Web page?

... only it's an admin-level user who has access to the server itself. They
already perform the function using data in a table with a CFGRID - but when
they do, the secretary a whole division over has already maintained the
office phone list electronically - only it's in an Excel spreadsheet. They
just don't want to have to re-type everything into the grid.

I figger I'll just tell them to export the text to a file, which I then
CFINCLUDE on a typical (but blank) page on their (intranet) site - and in
order to retain the line breaks, I put it between
<PRE>
 ...
</PRE>
.. or some other variation - can't think of how I would keep the data in
columns though...

Thanks,

Ed
