Thanks sherm,

I will start exploring perl for this.

Thanks once again.

Well, for myself, I'd use Perl for something like that. The
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module can read the .xls, and WWW::Mechanize
module can connect to the target site, fetch the form, fill it out,
submit the form data back to the server, etc.

Perl obviously works fine in the background as a standalone .pl file,
but I'd use CamelBones to package it in a .app bundle and add a
progress dialog, because otherwise my reply would have nothing to do
with Cocoa. :-)
