Hi Gang,
I looked around and found bits and pieces to what I was looking for but did not find all the pieces to put it all togther. What I am looking to do is use a macro to: 1. Access a company website website once a day (example: 5:45am). 2. Tab over a couple of radio buttons to get a section I need to download data from ( I think I can do this) 3. Run a query from the website. (essentially clicking on a single button to extract data from the past 24 hours) 4. Copy all of the data the data that returns (Control A). 5. Paste it unto a blank MS Excel file and save on my computer in a pretermined folder. As always my sincere thanks to all the members in the forum! Sam |

Sam,
If you are sure that the web page is very static in its format, I would use the "SendKeys" function in a macro, but you will face some difficulties if you want to properly interact with Internet explorer as everything will be hard coded, for example the number of tabs you need to perform to reach the right link. Personally, I am using http://www.autoitscript.com for such automation. The language is close to VBA, so it is easy to learn and you can really do great things. Stephane |
