This is interesting. It might give me what I need then. How do you
prevent them entering text in a number column or changing things so your
templates don't work any more?

Mike;
Take a look at www.fdford.com I use an Excel spreadsheet on that site due to
the
client wanting easy updating abilities. It seems to work without flaw as
long as
the client keeps all of thier data inserted properly.

I have a client who's complaining that the time spent generating a small app
using SQL is costing too much and wants to use excel spreadsheets instead.
What's your experience using excel as a datasource?
Just to clarify what the projects do, they don't write to the datasource,
just look up and filter the data customising tables for the user's needs.
The volumes aren't great - between a few hundred page views a month to 5000
or so.
IS there likely to be implications for the usage of RAM and resources on the
server? The System Admin is already complaining that he has to restart the
server too often and when the processor usage gets to 100% he panics and
complains.
