Displaying changing data in DW4 HTML pages

Question

Hi - I'm hoping someone can offer a way to do this more efficiently in DW4 than how I did it for the client.
I originally did this in Flash but since I'm the only person who knows Flash here, and because I would not be the person updating the data on a daily basis, I moved it to DW4 as HTML files.
They wanted a map with pushpins of the US and other countries.  See image below:
When you click on a pushpin, the state or country appears displaying names.  Then you click on a name and it displays data about that person on the right.  See below:
It's basically a drill-down concept, starting with usa.html, clicking on a state, which displays northcarolina.html, clicking on a name, which displays personname.html. 
As you can imagine, if you have 50 names, you're going to have 50 HTML pages to keep track of.  And if 20 of those names are displayed on each page like the one above, if Ron quits and is replaced by someone named Mike Smith, you have to go to the NC page and all 20 individual pages to change the names.
I would love to be able to do this same concept but with one central spreadsheet or some other document that holds all of the names and data for each.  Then, when something needs to be updated, just do it in this central document and the HTML display automatically updates.
Any idea how this can be done with DW4 and some other type of data file?  Thanks.

When you say "DW4" do you really mean "DW4" (vintage 1999) or "DW CS4" (vintage 2009)?
The best way to do this would be to use server scripting with a database.  But if you really mean DW4, then you would have to manually create all of that scripting.
