Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Just spent 4 weeks doing that
Tried to get a little control over the matter. Export an xml file with at least some semblance of structure (columns, dropdowns, data validation, conditional formatting, etc...). The work on the data at their own leisure. Upload the worksheet and it tells them how many rows and cells it can not decipher.

No direct attachment to the database though, as that would be insane!
New Im sure a simple xml form to be filled out in a browser
would be much easier. By the time you layout a complex several paged work book, a layout in html that would populate tags would not take any longer and would eliminate populating cells that shouldnt be populated. A spreadsheet should be used for math not data.
thanx,
bill

New Tell that to the Accounts.
Already had the stuff in a similar format for online app in the browser. Accountants and various other bean counters seem to only know Excel. The one advantage it does have is being able to go offline for an extended period of time.

Da boss doesn't quite comprehend though why I can't keep the users from doing stupid stuff within excel.
New we need to get into the classroom then
unless there is a dollar amount, any work submitted in a spreadsheet is an automatic fail.
thanx,
bill
