I need to create a page that resides on my desktop that searches an excel or csv that is also on my desktop. I don’t have an active internet connection.

There are 3 fields in the excel:

F\_NAME  
L\_NAME  
TABLE

on my search page i need to be able to type in the first and last name and hit “Find my table” and the result is the table associated with that name.

Any help or direction would be helpful.

Thanks
