Threading in javascript?

[deostroll]

I have an excel file in a specific location. I want to process the
file and display data in an html page. But there are many users. I
know how to call the excel object in the script and stuff... Won't
there be a problem if two or more people try to access the same file.
To handle this I suppose some elementary threading should do. But I am
not someone who has worked with this idea before. How can I tackle
this problem?

Threading will do nothing to solve an Excel file locking issue.

It's time to move to a real database back-end.
