post method automatically sends a querystring with the values entered in the
'input' fields and the variable named the name given to the 'input'
option, when a 'Submit' process is initiated. It can be started through a
JavaScript similar to the example shown or more traditionally with a 'submit'
button form option.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is a repost.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 face=Arial size=2>The program would automatically go to </FONT><A
href="http://web.battelle.org/jobs/textsearch.asp"><U><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff
size=2>http://web.battelle.org/jobs/textsearch.asp</FONT></U></A><FONT
face=Arial size=2>, 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 face=Arial size=2>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 face=Arial size=2>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><BR>
