Hi everyone,

Here at my company, many people track their parts inventory lists via microsoft excel spreadsheets. Sometimes when one person sells some machinery, they will send their updated copy of the spreadsheet to another person, who must read the sheet and append changes to their spreadsheet.

What I would like to do is write a program to take the two spreadsheets, study the differences, and then merge the two as one new file. The program will need to be smart enough to that new products and put them in to the new spreadsheet.

I want to know which programming/scripting language would allow me to perform this task easily. I am particularly looking for these criteria:

1: All our work computers run on either Windows 2000 or Windows XP. I will need something that will work out of the box on these machines. (No need to install additional things)

2: It must be an easy language to develop in, and to see results fast. I'm leaning to C# right now, because it is easy to build a GUI quickly.

Any other sugestions or ideas on how I would build the program, and what language to use?

Thanks
