Hi Joel

i think i an still not able to get my point clear. we are not using IE to
use the mainframe application. so can i have your personal id to give you the
things with screen shorts to make my point clear.

I probably has been 20 years since I regular used Telnet. I forgot to
tell you to use Open to make the connection. At the T Prompt you can
type Help to get the list of the commands.

I been thinking about your problem for a while a trying to decide the
best method to use. Using Telnet would give you everything you would
need but you would have to filter out a lot of control characters and I
think that is a lot of work.

It is possible to use send key commands to perform that task but I'm
not sure how you would do a dump screen to a IE explorer application.
You could do this if the screen was really a terminal (not an IE
emulator).

I believe the right solution is to use an IE explorer to do the job.
Actual the real any is to contact the main frame MIS department and see
if they are willing to give you the SQL server web address and directly
access the data. Although we may still be able to find out this
information indirectly.

What you may want to do is to go to the IE window and either type F12
to gewt the developer tools or go to view - source. the information may
be in the text data to let you bypass the Terminal and get access to the
database directly which is the easiest method.


I would recommend otherwise, in using code like I posted below.

Sub GetZipCodes()


ZIPCODE = InputBox("Enter 5 digit zipcode : ")

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True

URL = "http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown_zip.jsp"

'get web page
IE.Navigate2 URL
Do While IE.readyState < 4 And _
IE.busy = True

DoEvents
Loop

Set Form = IE.document.getElementsByTagname("Form")

Set zip5 = IE.document.getElementById("zip5")
zip5.Value = ZIPCODE


Set ZipCodebutton = Form(0).onsubmit

Form(0).submit
Do While IE.busy = True
DoEvents
Loop

Set Table = IE.document.getElementsByTagname("Table")
Location = Table(0).Rows(2).innertext
IE.Quit
MsgBox ("Zip code = " & ZIPCODE & " City/State = " & Location)


End Sub



The code below if you enter the URL will dump of your webpage to excel.
I'm not dumping all the properties only the standard ones so you can
see how to obtain the data from the webpage. You have to modify the
code by entering the URL of your webpage.


Sub Dump()

URL = "enter Your url Here"


Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True


'get web page
IE.Navigate2 URL
Do While IE.readyState < 4 Or _
IE.busy = True

DoEvents
Loop

RowCount = 1
For Each itm In IE.document.all
Range("A" & RowCount) = itm.tagname
Range("B" & RowCount) = itm.classname
Range("C" & RowCount) = itm.ID 'comment out line if error
Range("D" & RowCount) = Left(itm.innertext, 1024)

RowCount = RowCount + 1
Next itm


End Sub
