Hello Guys,
I was wondering if there was a way to auto-populate fields in a form from a webpage? For example, let's say I have a vendor webpage and want to grab certain information on an invoice to save in my database. Or maybe save it as a pdf and get the information that way? Is there any such feature?
Thank you,

you need an API or VBA web scraping (if possible).

I agree. The website has to allow for it. For example, you can get driving directions from Google, but you can also use Access/VBA to do it.

I made a tool to get info from pdf files. I can take look at the pdf if it will work, or look at the website if i can scrape the info.
