Lou,

I think Excel is able to do what you want. If your standard curve is linear
you can use the in-built regression formulas otherwise you can use solver to
fit a curve to your standard data (e.g. a polynom). Once the sheet is set up
properly you just need to enter your data and have the calculations done
automatically. If you are interested I would send you one of my spreadsheets
as a primer.

Cheers
  Klaus
