Web Browser Activex

[B Karthick]

Dear,

I want to browse a webpage within Access. I have placed the Webbrowser
Activex into a Accessform. In the Form - on load - event, I have the
following code.

Webbrowser1.object.navigate www.mywebpage.com

The page loads successfully, but i need to post some data to the webpage,
which will be a value from the form. Can you please help on how to do this.

Microsoft knowledge base on webbrowser is not of any help.

Thanks in anticipation.

Best Regards

I don't believe you can do that. A web page is stateless and not bound to
any data from external sources. You need to read data from an ASP page which
can be understood by the page you are in.

Dear Arvin,

Good day to you! I was not clear in my question. Sorry, it was for the sake
of simplicity.

Suppose my website which is a jsp/asp page and it opens a html form with
just
one text box and a command button. From the web browser Activex form,
I am able to key in this text box and hit enter on the command button.

I want to know if Web Browser exposes any method, property or event
with which I can automatically fill up the text box and hit enter to the
command button.

The workaround would be knowing the complete url that will http after
the data is manually entered and posted like
www.mywebpage.com/login=strVariable?post

The purpose is to just access one website and use the data from the calling
form (my form) to the called form (web browser form).

Kindly confirm if this can be done or not. If not, any other alternatives
available ?
Thanks in anticipation

Best Regards

I don't think that it can be done, but I can't test it for you before
Monday.

Dear Arivn,

Many thanks for your patience. This project solves two practical purposes.

1. No need to switch between applications (Access and Internet Explorer)
2. It automatates the process of feeding the Text Box and entering the
Command Button of the webpage.

I finally got to be able to test yesterday. I was unable to react with any
data that wasn't directly entered except from within the browser.

Dear Arvin Meyer,

Thank you very much!

I just got a reply from an expert that it is not possible. I hope in future
this will be possible.
