You can use text edits for doing that but it might be a bit boring having to make use of so many #define s.

Then again try google for source of some sales management software and check it out.

Also look into MFC, it provides a lot of things to make using the windows API simple, as long as you are not going for any graphics/cpu intensive stuff.

Have them enter data in a real spreadsheet and export it to a text file?

Building a spreadsheet-like interface isn't easy; there are VC products that give you the code for this, I think, for a price.

refer Charles petzolt book on WIN32 API programming

Of course it's easy.
Use one of the native OCX controls or simply embed Excel in a window.
