Hi –
Situation: I pay all of my recurring bills (mortgage, insurance, utilities, medical, credit cards, etc..) via internet accounts. A dubious decision on my part which was driven home when my ISP (the only game in town out here in the woods)...reassigned their remote servers without informing their help desk, and failed to calibrate the new settings to equal the previous settings. Result: I was without DSL access for six to eight weeks while the help desk folks repeatedly referred to their documentation and instructed me in establishing a new connection, which was an absolutely worthless effort. Why, do you ask, did you not request for a technician to be sent to yiour site? Cause, they (the help folks people) apparently receive bonuses for blocking on-site service calls.
Having said that, my 14 – 17 accounts have varying UserID/Password creation and input criteria. It’s quite easy to assign an HTML field which, when clicked, takes the user to the initial site. In some situations, I’m allowed to click a “Fill And Submit” button, which brings up and submits previously saved criteria.
In other cases, the user is required to submit both UserID and Password, and God help you if the information is case sensitive and you screw it up.
Bottom line: The UserID/Password has been captured for each and saved in a separate database. It’s thus possible—but a real pain—to refer back in each instance to ensure the correct data is being submitted. A Google on “Automate Password” shows that this problem has been previously addressed, but not in an Access environment.
My Question: Have any of you run into this, and is there an Access-related solution?
Thanks,
Bob
