I have a webpage/site that i need to write for work... I need to query and cross reference information on an access 03 dbase with info from an excel 03 sheet. I am limited to using asp/php as the webserver is pretty old.

I was advised to use vbs for getting the information from an .xls file....

just wondering if anyone has advice on what I should use and/or link to where to get info?

Any help would be much appreciated thanks...

That shows you the various ways to connect to an Access DB. And if you just scroll down a little ways you'll see the part titled "You can also open an Excel Spreadsheet using the JET OLE DB Provider".

Finally, you can actually reference Excel data *INSIDE* a query of an Access DB. But let's not get into that unless you need it.
