Howell DC (2002) details the method to test if a correlation zero using Fisher's transformation. This spreadsheet performs this calculation returning a z value.

A confidence interval for a correlation may be computed using the on-line calculator given here and for a matrix of Pearson correlations using the SPSS macro of Weaver and Koopman available from from here.
