I would like to use excel as a database to link up with
my web site. is that feasible?

it seems that when I replace the Access by Excel, there
are always error messages regarding readonly or can not
write into the excel file.

can anyone help me, please?

Try using the OLE DB provider for Jet 4.0 with 'Excel 8.0' in the
