I am not sure who to ask, so I thought I might try you.
Can you give me an idea of where to start?
How would one go about submitting data and retrieving data on the internet without the use of a browser?
I am required to log on to a secure web site, enter an ID and retrieve the information and repeat hundreds of times. While I have written a macro to automate the process, it is very slow. It takes days to retrieve the information. I thought it might speed things considerably if there was a way to bypass the browser pages having to load.
Any ideas?

Answer Hi,
The only way I can think of doing this is accessing the database directly, this would be the best way to do it. Other than that you would have to access it through a browser.
Have you tried looking at using ASP.NET screen scrapping? Again all depends on what data you want and how much.
