Hi John: This is all fairly standard stuff. Encapsulating the information within a set of form tags is the layout, then pushing data into forms via innerHTML or document write commands and to make the updates happen in real-time use AJAX. I have a few samples on my website. Though not beautifully elegant or modern (the code is about 10 years old) it is very functional: http://www.creativesystemdesigns.com/projects/programming.asp Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of jwcolby Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 9:00 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving; VBA Subject: [dba-VB] 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 -- John W.
