I am going to attempt to write a script that can pull data and enter
it into another program with drop down boxes, radios, fill ins etc.
My question is three part

1.IS THIS POSSIBLE?
2.WHAT DO I NEED TO ACCOMPLISH THIS (in terms of source for the
database into which I want to post the data, as in object names of
boxes/radios etc)
3. What is the best language to use to do this in. If it is not
VBscript.

Basically I have been handed this huge Excel document and been asked
to enter it into a database by hand. I want to avoid this at all
costs as it will take weeks of work and the amputation of at least 2
fingers to accomplish. If anyone can help please shoot me any
comments that may help at all. Anything.

My sincere thanks in advance to anyone who has any input on this
issue.

You should determine first what language do you want to use - at first,
which language you are familiar with. This is possible to do in most
languages - if you will choose VBScript, then your user interface will be
HTML page with .hta extension (HTML application).

You should write what you have (i.e. Excel file with data - describe columns
etc.), which language you know (VBScript, JScript, C++, C#, Delphi, Visual
Basic, VB.Net). Is your another program written yet? If so, which language
is used? Does it load data from database - what is that database?

If you just want to convert Excel speadsheet into database table, it is easy
but solution depends on what kind of database you are using - in Access, you
just choose import in menu.

If you just want to move the Excel data as tables into some other
database, our Super*SQL tool will do it for you. It will produce a
delimited ASCII file which can be immediately loaded into Oracle,
MySQL, Access, SQL Server, etc. It is written in Java. For more
information visit www.sqlmagic.com.
