Thanks Mike. I'll take a look and see if your code is applicable to what I'm trying to do.

It's not that hard really, you get the html source of the target page, extract the edit fields DOM ID and make a list of name value pairs between the edit boxes on the page and the columnular date from the database and you then use some javascripting from the frame1 of the HTA to talk to the DOM of the target web page frame 2 and update the edit boxes with your data. The example of this is on my site: http://www.byerley.net/AutoFill.zip The last time I updated it was 2008, but I just tested it and it still works OK. I was surprised when I put it up there that it has been put to use quite a bit around the world. More surprising that not that many had come up with the solution before. The text file that contains the data that is posted to the remote page would be data that you would generate dynamically from your database. How you make the two work together is up to you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Shapiro" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 10:17 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Automated program to fill in websites - not specifically R:BASE related : Hi All, : : : : I'm looking for a program to automate the filling in of website forms from a : database, in this case SQL Server.
