<p>The PowerShell allows access to all COM or .net objects, which means it is possible to access whatever you need, but you'll need a Windows developer to do it. You may also want to look at some of the scripts for the usb-rubberducky, since I think these can
do screen scraping also...<br>

At this point the human factor is required, but the time spend moving a field from one app to another and then scanning the screen output is about as fast as using an etch-a-sketch.<br>
<br>
It pains me to watch this process, but I'm at a loss since I spent decades avoiding the MS world.<br>
<br>
The question is, can Perl or other languages interact with MS office and web based apps to automate the process and extract the pertinent information ?<br>
