Adding an Excel Spreadsheet to a Homepage

Would it be out of the question to instead just create the fields inside of Quickbase itself on the form and have them fill those out? It could be done in a similar way and the fields/answers would still be associated with the record it just would not be attached as a file. This record link could be shared instead of the Excel file if it requires sharing.

If you wanted you could then move this to excel weekly or monthly, whatever you wanted, by just exporting it. 

Another option would be to simply have a link point them to office 365 Excel or whatever they use. Then they could click that and do their task, save it, and add it to the record.

You may also be able to embed it as a web page in the home page but I think that is unlikely to run well in the end, you could try it though and see. It may not work at all I didn't test it.
