Newbie / Database help

[jma]

Here is what I have ... A list in excel of 700 Names & addresses...What I need is a reasonable way to present this information to our employees thru an intranet...

I was originally thinking the name of company with a drop down beside it that would open up and tell them all info about company...but can't see any reasonable way to do it..without flat retyping all that data in.

So, I don't know anything about creating databases, etc..
Books I have are Ultradev beginners guide by ray west and tom muck and the complete reference by same authors...

Could someone give me an idea of where to go with this, how to get started etc... I saved .xls as .htm but every time i try to manipulate it with ultradev, it slows to a crawl..so I broke it up into groups of 250 and that didn't help...
Any input is appreciated...Thank you very much, Michelle..

hmmmmm,

I'm curious, I know you can go vice-versa with excel & Access. I know you can also pull Excel through ASP.

But I also know you can convert excel into access - and you'll go much further if it was in Access.

Would you have any problem emailing me the excel?

No, I could clean up the sensitive data and leave it to what is public knowledge...its just a list of insurance companies..but anyway, i could get it into access i think..i have access on the pc I'm at today...but not sure what I would do with it from there...anyway, how do I email something to you directly not thru the group? Thanks, Michelle... my email is jmahancock@hotmail.com
