[AccessD] Searching the Web

I've been asked if it is possible for an Access program to automatically go
to a website, enter some search criteria, and log the results into the
database.  As an example,

The program would automatically go to
http://web.battelle.org/jobs/textsearch.asp, enter the key word, such as
"Access", click the Search button, and log all the Jobs found into the
Access program.

I've used the Windows Task Scheduler to automatically start databases that
would compile data from other sources such as Oracle, ftp files, etc, but I
haven't a clue how to be able to automatically gather the data in a scenario
such as I've provided above.

If anyone has done such a project, or knows how to tackle such a project,
could they please provide some guidelines and advice.
