Basic automation questions; database to pushpin map

I'm trying to figure out where to start. I query a database to get a list of zip codes and a count of the number of members in each zip code. Right now, I do that, copy and paste into excel, save excel, import the data and map it in MapPoint. I want to write some kind of script to automate this. Ideally, it will be a web page where I select the criteria for the database call, then submit to generate the map.

I am familiar with VBScript and ASP--but I'm more of a manager, not a real developer. Do I need to jump into Visual Studio.NET and learn C# or is there some way I can hack together a simple solution?
