Hi,

        Unfortunately, Yahoo.com is just an example.. The site really does
need Login.

The thing is this, I'm developing for an internal site, (My dept) but I need
to access other dept's site to get info but unfortunately They won't give me
access to query the db directly. Prefering me to go through the site and
input accordingly to grab the data. 

        I just find this to be "SO" troublesome as I need to get this data
for every week. Week In.. Week Out and for a lot of items..

        But I will take a look at SNOOPY. (hey.. isn't the name snoopy
copyrighted??)

Cheers,

assuming the login isn't necessary (which it probably is), you could use 
something like Snoopy (http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopy/) to POST/GET
the 
required web page and process as required.
