    Hi,

    OK. First of all, I'm quite new to programming.

    Here's the problem: I somehow want to have automatic access to a software (say MS Word) through a form. For eg. the user enters their name in the Name field, they click submit, and then the software automatically creates a report with their name, and sends the report to them thorugh a e-mail.
    Right now, I have to manually open the software and use all the info. that user submitted and create the report manually.

    Is this possible? Which programming language can be used to so this (PHP etc.)? Or are there already scripts available to this problem?


    Respectfully.

    There is many ways that this can be done. If it is a web form where the user submits there details then you can use any server side language (PHP or ASP will do fine), to email them instantly with a response. This can also be easily created as a desktop application, in it's simplest form you could use an MS Access Database and Mail Merge in MS Word to complete this task with no programming experience required.
