I want to put an Excel spreadsheet into my web page that people will make
entries and then submit it to me via email.

I am not the best at Front Page, so please provide specific details and steps.

Thank you!
 
Not Possible for them to do it online and send it to you without major server side coding
Add the .xls file as a link for them to download and then Email to you

Presently, they can open the excel file and edit it, if they want. To set
that up would be virtually impossible? What about setting up a form on the
web site that they could enter information and email to me? Thanks.

Well, you could set up a link <a href= "mailto:myaddress@my domain.com>Send
Email</a>

This method uses the viewer's default email client, but it is not a good
idea as it stands, because it invites the spam crawlers (or whatever those
programs are called) to find the address and use it to send you for spam.
This can be overcome by using Javascript to generate the address.

Are you suggesting that the viewer sends you the edited excel file?
If so, the viewer needs to know where the excel file is saved and then
attach it to the email themselves. (You could add instructions into the
form.)
If not, then the info could be added into the form and emailed back using
the mailto: method (Server side software could also be used, but I am not
familiar with this method)
 
Stefan & Trevor, Thanks for your help!
