There will be no quick-fix solution to doing this... since you're new to programming. If you know any HTML at all, CF will definitely be the way to go. It's completely tag-driven like HTML, while powerful/flexible at the same time.

Check out FreeCFM (http://www.cfm-resources.com) since they already have CF Server running for you... just open an account and you can run CFMs to play around with.

The Excel part will have to come after becoming familiar with CF.

I agree, ColdFusion would be much better than ASP if you are not familiar with programming. In fact, it is probably better than ASP 3 anyway - you can do a lot more with it without having to write your own components.
