Default Help with Click link, Find, Paste (Excel to Web back to Excel)

All,
I hope someone has done something like this in the past.

I'm attempting to import my trouble ticket information from a vendors
site.

I've created a Excel doc that has
Ticketnumber (Link)
Date open
Status
Open by

I've added another column
for
Problem description
Resolution description.
What I need to do is
For each item in column A follow link
On the webpage that is given locate the word "Problem Description:"
Copy all text between "Problem Description:" and Problem Resolution:
and paste into my excel doc in the same row under "Problem description"

The vendor's site requires me to login - I don't mind storing my login
infomation within the excel doc.

Any thought?
Steve
