Getting info from Web Page to Access Form

[ZeichCSJ]

I would like to get particular information from a web page into Access automatically. I would like to do this by specifying some criteria like a page name or data location. Something like grabbing a stock price or the current temperature.

I dont think Access is capable of this (well I've never seen anything like it in the literature or forums...), the best way would be to write the code in a more suitable language like Java and uses it's JDBC:ODBC link to port the info into the database.

I guess this doesn't really help if you don't know Java though...

Here is a short tutorial for building a Spider using ASP. Once you have the web spider created putting the data in a data base is pretty simple.

Here is the link:
Building A Web Spider

By the way, here is all that is needed for the basic function.
