I need to put an Excel file onto a web page so it can do the following:

- Be used. Example: Someone can input values and have the excel file do the calculations
- Not be a link to download the file. I want it so you can just type in an address, and run the file off the web server.
- Possibly lock certain portions of the excel file so they can't be altered, you only can input info into certain areas (This isn't need, but would be great)

Just to give you an idea on why I want this, it is for an college indoor track conversion excel file. Times in indoor track need to be converted to a "standard" time. This is because indoor tracks can be different lengths, at different elevations etc. We want an excel file that we can open up wherever we go without having to download it.

Thanks in advance for any help. Ask questions if my question isn't clear, I will check back frequently to answer them.
 
It's impossible to run Excel off a webpage. You may want to look into an alternative such as Google Docs:
http://docs.google.com/
you'd still need to download and save, but it's better than emailing and adding info and emaling

Otherwise, you're going to need something like a database, and those are difficult to setup and use if you've never used them before. Even then, you'd need a server-side language such as PHP or ASP to get the interaction you want.
