Hi there,

I have the following problem. I need to get information from a website. The website gives you the ability to do searches and it throws a lists of results, you click on one of the results and it gives you the details. Well, I need to get information from this detail and for all the records, so I guess I could automate it so I do searches one by one from a to z.

Unfortunately there's no downloadable file that they offer so I'm gonna have to do screen scraping. The idea would be for a user to hit a button and then the program go into that web page, do the searches and get all the detail info that I need from the results and put it into a file.

I have never done this. Anybody have ideas on how I can do this?

Thanks in advance!
