We send payroll data to the gov't instead of keying it into their web site.
Contact that government agency and ask them if you could obtain their file
format so that you could just upload the file.  Filling in their web form
merely puts it into a file for them to process, all you need is that file
format.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - How to fill a HTML form from a RBW app ?



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
