Excel database restriction

Hey there, I work at a college and need to develop a way to have limited access to data entry through Excel.

The idea is for us to have technology assistants be able to click on a link that will open Excel. They will then be prompted to enter their name, shift time, and the number of computer lab patrons for each area.

Then the data is to be entered into an Excel database that will organize the data and eventually email it to the supervisor.

The trick I'm finding with this is how to keep technology assistants from having access to the entire Excel document when they open the program to enter their shift data.

Any ideas about where to start with all this and what the best route to take might be? Thanks ya'll.

Do you have to do this in excel? Is using MS Access or some other desktop database a possible solution?
