Agreed. Have the office application gather the information (such as in
Excel or something), and then from there, have the application send the
request as an XML POST to the application. You will need to create
probably an application module to handle that, but that shouldn't be a
big deal. Then have it return an XML response. There is some samples
for just that sort of thing on the Internet. The last time I ran across
a need for it, it was using Microsoft Office and ASP, but you can just
as easily parse and generate the needed XML stuffs using PHP on the back
end.

Google is your friend. :)
