I'm am very new to VB programming and was wondering if someone could tell me how I could move data from my program (which is stored in an Access database) into directly related fields on an existing web page without having to manipulate or access the web page code. Basically, it is a third party web page that I want to input data into automatically from VB. I also want to be able to process any errors or confirmations from the web page to determine the next course of action in the program. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Feel free to e-mail me at vance_mcmurry@hotmail.com.

It's funny you should post this because this is the same sort of thing that I started doing. What I did to input code into a web page was put my own web tag into the web page <PICOFDAY> <img src="bla.gif"></PICOFDAY> and then read the web page from the web into a string and then searched for the tag. When I found it I replaced the text between the tags with new text. The next text comes from an Access database that I have on my C: drive. Then the page is uploaded to the web server. All this is done from an events scheduler in the middle of the night. I have another page that is entirely created from a VB executable that I wrote and it entails a database of events in an access database. Is this the type of stuff you were looking for?
