I got confused a little. What do I need wddx for? I don't have control over
the other server, but I CAN post form values to update the web database.
Sorry. don't get it.

Actually, you could build a VBA macro that utilizes WDDX. That way you
could simply run the macro from a normal spreadsheet and have it post to
a website (without having to build a "web" interface) Take a look at
wddx.org's sdk.
