Well, if the fuel oil price is on the web page, then it will be embedded in the actual HTML. The HTML is simply text which you should be able to parse and find your price. An easy way to figure out where the price is located in the HTML is to go to the website in IE and then right click in the pane and select View Source. The HTML will be opened in Notepad (or some other text editor) and then you can find the fuel price and its "delimiters" so that you can parse it. There was a good article on doing something similar to this by Erik Moore in FoxPro Advisor in June 2000.

They print a report then key those numbers in to an Access application. My company was hired to convert the Access application into FoxPro with enhancements. One of the enhancements was to automate the fuel oil price look.
