@DJsACNov 26.2004 — You'll probably want to use excel like spreadsheets, and I'm guessing that that'll use .ASP

I could be wrong however ?

A table with textboxes is ok, but depending on the number of rows/columns, that can kill the server. ?

@james9394authorNov 26.2004 — I am looking for a excel like spreadsheet but I am not working with any of the microsoft (.ASP) stuff.

I am on linux with mysql. Currently I have the data stored in mysql database. Users perform a search to display the data on a read-only grid. I want to allow users to type over the data on the grid and submit the data back to the database for corrections.

I think you are right. Each user's database will have thousands of rows with 11 columns each. Even if I limit the number of rows on it's page to a 100, it's going to be a hit on the server if many users are doing the same thing at the same time. Will it's better that I added add 4 buttons next to each row to allow users to insert-above/insert-below/delete/edit a row.

Success!
