Jon,

Take a look at the products offered by OpenSpan.  I am not sure what the 
pricing is though.

[AccessD] internet screen manipulation

I have a client that has to do data entry into an internet screen.  I am 
researching whether a 
program can manipulate an internet form, poke values into specific 
controls, click buttons etc.

I have looked at the source for one specific screen and it appears to be 
all java.  For example, top 
of the screen

<html>
                 <head>
                                 <title>Professional Claim</title>
                                 <link href='/ePROM/CSS/styles.css' 
rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<script src='/ePROM/ScriptLibrary/utils.js'></script>
<script src='/ePROM/ScriptLibrary/soap.js'></script>
<script src='/ePROM/ScriptLibrary/gui.js'></script>
<script src='/ePROM/ScriptLibrary/xsd.js'></script>
<script src='/ePROM/ScriptLibrary/xbind.js'></script>

<script src='/ePROM/ScriptLibrary/validation.js'></script>
<script src='/ePROM/ScriptLibrary/calendar.js'></script>
<script src='/ePROM/ScriptLibrary/techSupport.js'></script>

<script language=javascript>
                 var g_fFieldsChanged = 0;
                 var hrs = 0;                                    // DF 
5462
                 var mins = 90;          // DF 5462
                 var secs = 0;                                   // DF 
5462
</script>

<SCRIPT FOR=window EVENT=onload>
                 // Heir Menus
                 if (typeof(HM_f_StartIt) != "undefined")
                                 HM_f_StartIt();

                 // Call any user defined "onload" routines.
                 var inx;

So...

do developers poke data into screens, and read values back from screens, 
click buttons, select menu 
items etc?

I did this kind of thing back in the late 90s but so much has changed.  I 
am just beginning to 
investigate whether this is possible and where to go to learn how.

Any help appreciated
