Weather Input Value

[chris11590]

is there a default value, event, procedure etc of any type to be able to input the weather on a form. i was thinking of placing a link to a weather website. i m trying to prevent the users from having to input on their own alot of info.

If we're talking about automatic entry of weather information, I would imagine this would involve finding an API to hook into and require a fair amount of expertise to implement.

A simpler approach would be to create a form with OnOpen event to open a webpage with the weather data, and have the textboxes in the same order as the webpage display so it's one-to-one for user to enter the data...

Is that what you are after?

yes, you all both correct. i knew it was a hard task but ive seen so much get accomplish i wanted to give it a shot and reach for the impossible.

thank you for the answers

Access '07 has the ability to import web pages. I don't know if this is the version you are working with and could possibly take advantage of that fact for some supoh macho modifications or not.

From my manual use of it, it does some sort of analysis and determines the readable text (screen scrape/read based tech perhaps?) and you just tick off what you want to pull in.

That is .. it would work until they modified their webpage.
