If you have the time to build something solid, you could imagine having Perl scripts running as services, and on a given signal (timing, remote, user decision...), they export the Excel files to a given text format, and send them via FTP to the Unix box. The script on Unix could monitor the destination directory, and process the files when they arrive (or when the Perl script on Windows notify it via a network connection). With this kind of architecture, your process could be fully automated, and would require no intervention. | [reply] |
