<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The program would automatically go to </FONT><A HREF="http://web.battelle.org/jobs/textsearch.asp"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">http://web.battelle.org/jobs/textsearch.asp</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">, enter the key word, such as "Access", click the Search button, and log all the Jobs found into the Access program.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If anyone has done such a project, or knows how to tackle such a project, could they please provide some guidelines and advice. </FONT></P>
