Link a field in a form to a webpage field

[doobybug]

Hi all,

I am trying to make a form with data which is already existent in a website on the Internet. Thus I am trying to eliminate data inputting and linking each field to a part of a webpage. Any idea how I can go to do this?

Thanks for your help

I do not think this is possible.

Do you have control over the web site?

If you do, then you can grab data from the web database supporting that web page.

If you do not, then changes on that web page (by its webmaster) will likely to make your work useless.

Hi,

In fact that's what I want. I want the changes in the website to update my database. Basically this is a country form, where i am going to capture Rate of exchanges etc... and I want the database to automatically link with a webpage to get the data and always display to the user the latest data. If anyone has an idea how I can do this I will appreciate it.

So you want to build a database-driven web site. There are many ways to do it. Since you want to use Access database as the web (backend) database, I recommend posting questions in the forum of "Microsoft: Active Server Pages (ASP)" or "Microsoft: ASP.NET".

Classic ASP uses vb script language, which is very similar to VBA used in Access. ASP.Net uses vb.net language, which is still visual basic but quite different from VBA.
