Kimberly, This sounds a lot like the user is not really telling you what the problem is. If they are trying to reduce work, speed up the process, or increase accuracy then a much cleaner solution would be to code the web interface in another language that is friendlier to the web. Web pages are not clean files, tables, database records or whatever. Even if you could figure out how to read a web page into your Access application you would still have a complex piece of parcing to do. If it was my project I would write the application in Perl. Perl could read the web page, parce it, and write it directly to an Access DB. Dick
