VB Filling in forms...

[scotty]

Hello...

Was curious if there is a way with VB to fill in a web form and submit it, and then log the results. I am trying to use a web site to find the position of the moon several times a day.

I know IE 5 has the option of filling in a form the same way each time...I am looking for something more...

The web site I would like to try this with is: http://www.auslig.gov.au/geodesy/astro/smpos.htm

Thanks,
Scott

People ask this question so many times. At the moment I don't think that it's possible although I am learning Perl and so I will soon find out :)

I wonder if the solution is non-direct one... Is it possible to control Internet Explorer by simuating keystrokes?

Then save the result using a simulated
ALT-F-A (file save as)...

You can use the SendKeys function, but that is very ugly - I wouldn't recommend it unless you are desperate.
