I would say to do this you're going to need to create an ActiveX control
(you are running on Windows hosting, aren't you?) to create the database
and registers it as an ODBC source. Than you can use the ODBC functions
to add your data (or just put that in the ActiveX control while you're
at it, also).

If you're not running on Windows hosting, you're out of luck.

Alternative, just save it in CSV format and let them do whatever they
want with it.
