Help!!Custom app. using dreamweaver

Let me start off by saying I am some what of a noob to what I am trying to do
here so bare with me.
What im trying to do is make a shop control app. for my company using
dreamweaver and excel. What I would like to do (but not sure if it's possible)
is make what I will call a "shell" page using dreamweaver that will open and
let me modify and save excel spread sheets in ie or firefox. I would like to
have 1 standard spread sheet I can use for each part number we make, and the
shell page to open the spread sheet in what looks like a high end web page and
put the data in the appropriate place in the page so it can be modified and
saved back to the spread sheet.
So my question is, is this possible?
Let me know if you need any more explanation and any reply will be appreciate

What is your proficiency level with -

1. HTML and CSS
2. Server-side scripting
3. Integration of databases with DW

??

The answers to those questions will determine the answer to the "if it's
possible" question. If the answers are -

1. Slim
2. None
3. None

then I think you will need to consider hiring an experienced developer to do
this work.

a little exp. in each aside from Server-side scripting. could you direct me to
an article or web page that describes a simmilar app. or how to
also could you tell me what kind of softwear you would use for this.

also
this app. will be used only offline if that makes a difference.

Thanks, but I'll keep my clothes on if that's ok.

Is there a good reason you are using Excel? This really sounds more like an
application for a database.

not realy sure what to use
btw:is more fun with your clothes off!!!!!

it will run file locally.
im only asking if it would work with dw and excell because i have and know
both
If something would work better and is semi user friendly im open to
sudjestions.
but i wana make it look flashie because i plan on selling it when im done

is using excel and dw even a good idea for what i want to do
and what about running is from my companys server (ms 2003)

Based on what I think you are trying to do, no. How exactly are the
spreadsheets going to be used outside of this application you are building?

let me kind of re-explain what i want to do.
My boss is unhappy with our curent shop control system.
this system stores all the data we enter into it in microsoft excel spread
sheets.
I would like to make a new modified "shell" to open, modify and save this data.
The old system is bottom line shop system if anyone knows what this is.
and i would like to make my own
"bottom line" type web page(s) to use insted of bottom line.
