Hello....

Can anybody recommend some software that will extract titleblock information and populate a spreadsheet with that information? Something where I can load hundreds of files and let it run, then view a spreadsheet with all of that great information?

Thanks for your help...

Never heard of such a thing with spreadsheets. Programs that do such, usually are for document management systems, which are databases. You would probably have to write the code yourself. Acad comes with a vba sample for extracting attributes to a spreadsheet. You could modify that to suit your needs.

I've been considering the implementation of Sharepoint Services on my Windows Server 2003 as a means of document management / intranet site without having to bust the budget. I noticed there is a company who makes a few web parts modules specifically for Autocad, and one of those will do exactly what you're asking about. Might be something worth checking into.
