Topic awaiting preservation: real challenge

anyone ever tried to put a web interface on top of an excel spreadsheet? not just some 1 sheet workbook, i'm talking an extensive workbook with hidden sheets and calculation upon calculation upon calulation which is derived from other calculations upon calculations. I mean this thing is a beast. where would one begin??

the best thing I can see so far is there's a program out there that can turn workbook spreadsheets in java beans, and maybe I could work on it from there... but I don't really know java so I'm looking for any help anywhere. please help!

Well there are ways...

If you have the ability to use Java you can try Apache's POI.

If you have PHP there must be an excell sheet reader. I use the pear Excel_Spreadsheet_Writer, but I don't know if it can read.
