I run a web site and want to write a program to help me update it. I would
appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction as far as this is
concerned.

The main thing here is that I don't know how a vb program can send it's
output to a web page instead of a page that is internal to itself. Your
feedback on this idea would be much appreciated.

I would want the program to go to the web, find a certain web site, log in
with my unpw, go to the correct page of the site, enter data in the blanks
of that page (max 30 entries), submit those entries, gather the info the
web
site returned, use that info to update my web page, then do that over and
over until all the items of my web site have been checked.

If this program can only do part of that, then it would need to be the
data
entry part, cause that is what takes the largest amount of my time and
effort manually.


Thanks
Robert

I don't think this is a good way to things, it's an ideal scenario for a web
service on your site which accepts the data.

The way fowrad with your current situation is to either use automation of
IE, search for internetexplorer.application in the scripting newsgroups
(microsoft.public.scripting.* in google.groups) or to use the
msxml2.xllhttp.4.0 to send and receive raw http requests.
The second method is more controllable but using IE oftens helps with some
awkward things such as cookies.
