Since she has to input the data anyways why not just make an admin cgi form where she can add events? That way she can add/remove them from anywhere and you can use a template system to display the data in what ever format you wish. To me it seems more fluid to do all the update on the site and be able to add/remove dates as need be -- without having to reinport an excel ss every time a change is made.

True... I had thought about this, but it does add some complexity because of security issues. I'd have to think about a login/password scenario etc. I realise that there is probably stuff out there to handle that already, but as I'm relatively new to CGI, my way seemed like a safer and possibly simpler path. Plus the editing of the spreadsheet can be done off-line (we have dial-up :( ) Thanks, it is all food for thought. P.S.
