Short answer: yes.
Longer answer:
This is the type of question that I am often tempted to answer with "If you had to ask, then probably 'no' for you" -- and I am not trying to be rude. Yes, it is possible, but how to best go about it depends on the type of web server and the operating system (Unix, Windows) it runs on, and requires a bit of programming in any case.
On a Windows machine, you can use OLE DB or ODBC for either Access or Excel formats. You can use them with ASP or ASP.NET on IIS, as well as Perl or PHP on either Apache or IIS. Lots of choices there.
On a Unix machine, your best bet is Excel format using Perl and
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module.
