writing a .net exe

[=?Utf-8?B?V2VuZHkgRWxpemFiZXRo?=]

I am new to visual studio.net 2005. What I need to do at my new job is to
write an application where users can enter data into 'screens'. The data that
is entered will end up in excel spreadhseets. Once the data is entered into
the excel spreadsheets, I will then export the data to vartious sql server
2005 databases for processing.
This application is not suppose to be a web aplication. The application is
suppose to be like an 'exe' that someone can click on and then execute.
I am wondering how to accomplish this task and what security issues would
I need to be aware of.
Also when the 'exe' is deployed, what .net features would need to be
inlucded in the deployment package?

Thanks!

Don't multi-post. If you want to post to multiple newsgroups, cross-post by
putting all of the group names in at once. That way, if someone in one group
responds, the others can see that .

Having said that, I did post a response to this in another group --
WindowsForms maybe?

Sounds like ya got a step learning curve ahead of you...

Why go to excel first?

Wouldnt it be better to store it in the database then export that to excel..

Also sounds like you want to write a winforms application...

If its a winforms application thats is deployed internally in your
organisation then your sql server is the only thing you would have to
protect for security. Your network people should be able to secure the
rest...that is if you have them...
