page design advice needed

[skibascott]

I am about to create a webpage that is basically a spreadsheet. The some of the fields will submit data to a sql database after user input and others will be getting data from a sql database. It is for the company intranet. I will use asp to connect to the databases.
What is the best way to create this? Would I just use html tables(there are many many fields)? Or, is there a better way. It seems to me that the tables will get very confusing because of the number of fields in this "spreadsheet".
Any advice?

Thank you.

definitely use tables in my opinion - that is precisely what they're designed for. You may end up with a (seemingly) complicated table but believe me it will be much easier to code and to make it look right than any other method.

If you use ASP then you will most likely be able to use Loops to reduce the amount of code that YOU have to write - the server will do it for you instead.

Check out the ASP forum (forum333) for more details on that

You could even use the ASP table output to create an Excel file if you so wished.

Like Tony said, tables are for tablular data. Best solution.
