dotnet general:
I would like to develop a program that acts almost like a macro in the sense when I push a button in VB it retrieves data from my text file and inputs it into a text box on a specific web page and then activates a button on that web page to search the web site's data base. If it gets a positive hit then it activate the file menu on the web page's menu bar to save the data on my hard drive. I would like this to run like a loop if I could. I do not know how to pull up the Internet within VB and then have VB take control the controls(buttons and tool bar) on the website. Does this make sense?

Robert,
Thank you very much for your quick response. I am afraid that you are light years ahead of me in understanding VB. I down loaded what you gave me and then I tried to run it. My VB.net tried to convert everything before it would bring it up. SHOUD IT HAVE? Once it did come up I tried to run it but it came up with the following error Line1.X1 = VB6.PixelsToTwipsX(cmdExit.Left) - 240 It did not know what "Line1.X1" was. I do not know how to "DIM" it. I tired to do it "as Integer" but that was not right. I have never experienced a dot in the middle of a name which leads me to believe it might be a C language thing. As you might be able to tell I am just a self taught novice at this programing thing with no formal education so I a apologize if I bore you with these questions. 1. Does your program need to be converted to use it? 2. What should I do to solve the Line1.X1 error? 3. I have taken some basic college courses and they are great for starting to learn to program but I do not know if there is a course that really gets into the meat of what I am trying to do. Are you aware of a course or a book that will walk me through this project or even elevate my programing skills beyond a beginners level? Or is this something you learn by working for an employer, time and experience? Thank You very much! [quoted text, click to view] "Rob Windsor [MVP]" wrote:

Attached is a VB.NET 2003 version of the application that shows how to
submit a form on a web page. This is a fairly advanced topic and it requires some knowledge of how HTML forms work but this sample app should help you get started. -- Rob Windsor [MVP-VB] G6 Consulting Toronto, Canada http://msmvps.com/windsor/ [quoted text, click to view] "Raymond 03077" <Raymond03077@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D46594D3-83E3-4DD5-B276-583FE81234E2@microsoft.com... > Robert, > > Thank you very much for your quick response.

Rob,
Thank you for your response. You mentioned an attached VB.NET 2003 version of the application but I failed to find the attachment. The only link I got was to your blog page. Could this have been an oversite on your part or am I missing something? Thank you for your time. [quoted text, click to view] "Rob Windsor [MVP]" wrote:
