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. Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
