[AccessD] Automating file downloads from the Web

I have created an Access database that parses Bank of America credit card
Merchant statements. I manually download individual merchant statements from
B of A's web site and process them with Access. All this works wonderfully
well. The problem is we have 158 stores (merchant statements) that have to
be downloaded. Each download requires clicking through about 5 separate
screens. It takes about 4 hours. B of A has made it abundantly clear they
can not provide a disc with all the statements or any other means to
download the statements in a group so I am left to my own devices. Is there
any kind of script/key macro/magic I can write to at least semi automate the
download process? Any help would be appreciated since I have some clerks
ready to lynch me. TIA
