Well MS Access (spit!) provides *exactly* what I need in two different
ways, so some people seem to want it!  :-)

    If you simply display the table in the tables tab in Access you can
    enter data row by row as I want.

    If you use the forms wizard to create a 'tabular' form it provides
    what I want, with the additional ability to do a bit of tuning.

If I could use Access to create forms for use in a web page I could do
what I want with very little effort.
