Not sure of exactly what you want to do because further info would be required.

Step 1: you are saying that you are MANUALLY entering the info into "a database we can't mess with". Is this database also on your intranet ? is it on the internet ?

If both your database and the other one are fed through html forms, you can create a script that will POST to both databases (with one posting only) so you accomplish both tasks.

As to viewing the invoices in a browser (though i don't understand why, simply store the MS Word file on a intranet accessible directory on your server, and all your intranet users can retrieve it from there) you can simply save the MS Word file as htm and upload it on your server. A cron job could then delete files from the specific folder, if dated, OR, you can simply add a routine to run manually, everyday, to delete previous days files.

Unless i have misread your post..
