Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make a website that people could fill in fields and when they press submit it transfers the details onto an excel spreadsheet?

There are ODBC drivers on the windows platform to update Excel spreadsheets.  I'd hope Coldfusion supports ODBC too, assuming that is what you're using.  Have a look here :

I've produced pages that update fields in an Access database before, but not an Excel file.
If you want to know how to do this, let me know which bits of info you want to capture and if it needs to be structured in any particular way on your file.
Also, is this excel file going to be stored on your hard drive or on a web server somewhere?
