I can't remember if there is 'intrinsic' mapping capability within TLW to map 
directly to a brand-name spread sheet, but I do know
you can map an '830' to a fixed-field-length file;  and do I know Excel can 
import that unattended ( programmatically for sure and
possibly by script); and do I know there are tools to 'attach a file and send 
an email.' (ditto on the unattended).  I've done all
three pieces separately, but I've never had to make them play nicely with each 
other like this.

So, doable? Yes.  "Point and click out of one software vendor's box?" I doubt 
it.

I think I'd look at using a TLW script... you can launch external processes 
from those scripts, and I'm pretty sure you are are
going to need to launch an external process somewhere in this task.

Actually sounds like kind of a fun project. If you have an interest in engaging 
professional assistance on this, please drop me a
note.
