Best language to use to call on a file for info?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 18.2004

I have a web page in my company that is mearly a table with info on each person.

Name
ICQ #
Email
etc.

This info is kept in an excel spreadsheet that I then run through a mailmerge when we get new hires to produce the code, then copy & past over old code & poof.

What I’d like to have is a template type page that calls upon a csv file or access file to pull the info into each dynamically. So I just have to upload a new csv or access file.

Is this possible, what language is best? Where do I start looking?

Thanks.

Best Wishes,
