Can I programatically mass update with PE + API add-on?

Customer wants to download all Activities (Events) at the end of each month, modify some dates, and then upload them. They would like to do this pragmatically and they are currently on PE, NOT EE. If they get the API add on, would they be able to do this with their current PE using the EE version of Excel Connector?

 

If not, what would be your recommendation for them? They are trying to avoid the expense of upgrading to EE.

 

Thanks.

Have you verified that you can't do this with just the PE connector using vb scripting?  It may be possible, and then they could just manually (Or set it up to execute off a scheduler of some sort) run the script once a month.

 

Otherwise, something like that could certainly be done with API access -- they wouldn't need to worry about using the Excel connector in that case (Though it would certainly work, assuming it can pull the event details needed and then update them) since they'd be able to just connect a custom app to Salesforce with the API.
