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??)
