One more time: Need to update a table with a form

Thanks for the responses to my previous post, but everyone
missed the key points.
1 - I already have a form that creates html files.
All that is in the html file is one table.
2 - There are already many of the html files created.
263 at last count, and increasing every day.
3 - This is not a dynamic site but once in a while the
content of one of these html files will need to be
changed, generally by adding one or more rows to the
table.
Now the question. Does anyone know of a module, templating
system, GPL'd script or software that will enable me to
load one of these html files into my form, or another form,
and display it on a terminal so a data entry person can
modify or add content and then re-save the html file?
Many TIA!
Dennis

WebDAV was designed to do just that. See here:
http://www.webdav.org/
In my opinion, this is one of the few situations where the best option is
obvious, but others can feel free to disagree with me and add comments.
