As long as the form that they use does not change too often, this method works great:
Get on that web site and right click and edit the form code and save it on your machine. Then is what you want to do is to use that text and write it out to a temp html from R:base populating the input tags with the data you want. The last trick is you need a java script to submit the form. Run it in an onload event for the page. I have it somewhere, but don't have time to dig it out right now. This will only work if you don't have to login into that sight. If you have to login first, you will need to jump through some more hoops.

Hi all, I have several clients who use one of ower RBW app to manage their custom declarations. All informations are actualy typed from keyboard and/or retrieved from a RBW database, stored and finaly printed and send to the custom administration by conventionnal way. In a few months, everybody will have to use a governmental WEB app to type and send the same informations. I am looking to a way to avoid this double input to my clients : - let then use my local RBW app that is much more convenient for them (and for my as you can imagine !), - extract informations from RBW database, and fill the HTML form as is there was typed on the keyboard. Any idea to do that will be welcome ..... My first idea would be to program a function key within my RBW app with all informations to by sent including TAB/ENTER .... Then connect to the custom WEB site, display the HTML form, press the correct function key that would fill every data on the form (as if there was typed on the keyboard) and then valid the form. This technique would be similar to what is called PLAYBACK files in Rbase. Is there anybody that has ever done a similar thing ? TIA, J.M. GRATIAS, Logimatique
