Database Beginner Question

I have a website that shows our product line. Each item get's it's own page. I would like to display the selling price for each item. Can I set up a database to do this with FrontPage? It seems that future price increases would be easier to update one database file rather than having to go to each item's web page and manually update.

I currently have my pricelist in an excel spreadsheet, is there an easy way to transfer the information over to a database format instead of having to input each item? My spreadsheet has 3 columns: Item Code, Description, and Price.

Once all the information is in a database file, how do I reference the information from the individual items webpage.

Is a database what I need for what I want to do or is there a better way?

TIA.

 
A database is certainly the way to go for overall control and easy expansion. I am assuming your pages all follow similar format, so it is might be worth considering using a server side scripting language to create your pages on the fly. Saves you a lot of work in the long run.
