MC vs EXCEL

[jbv]

Hi again,

Is there a specialist of Excel on this list ?

In a project for 1 of my clients, I have a flat database
on a server whose content is set via a sophisticated
HTML form and a couple of MC cgi scripts.
This flat database is a tab-return file with 100 rows
and 100 cols.
My client wants to visualize / modify all the content
at once like in a spreadsheet on his PC, and save
modifications on the server.
Further data processing will need to be done on the PC
(not saved on the server), like generating PDF files
from sections of the database content, etc.

Is there a way to do that with Excel (view / modify /
save the database) or do I have to simulate a spreadsheet
with MC ?

Thanks,
JB
