What server side language do you have available? What database?

What you would need to do is something like:
<a href="updatepage.php?supplier=1">Some Supplier</a>.

You server side script would retrieve the list of suppliers from the
database and generate the supplier id. Then the update page would look
at the query string and retrieve and update the information for that
supplier only. Be sure to do server side checking BEFORE updating the
table (also check for SQL Injection).
