Access Q,linking my db with a website to update data,is it possible

[damien]

Hi all,

I was directed here to get answers for my question.What I'd like to be able to do is to update information in my database by linking it to information on a website eg.stock prices. I wonder is this possible and if so how would i go about doing it. i would like info to be connected to a table.What would the code be?

Any help on shedding light on the matter would be much appreciated.

You will need to use the CFHTTP tag to "pull" the page into your script. That script will need to parse the table for the information and then add it to the database.

Parsers can be tricky but fun

If you are very new to CFHTTP, try this primer:

You may find that downloading a tag from Allaire is a little easier but... writing your own can be benificial.
