Rich,

The delimited file is the common denominator for all data types. Export what you need from your Excel file to a delimited file which you can then import into an online database. It's a snap!

If you're on a Windows server, you might even want to use Access for your database since you're already familiar with it, but for the long term it's time to learn 'real' databases.

If you're on a Unix/Linux server, go with MySQL. Easy to learn, powerful and free. While you're in the learning stage if you need things to go 100% right, hire a consultant to help and tutor you through the learning stage.

Hang on to your seat, your about to begin a fun ride!
