I need my database to access the web and retrieve information every time its opens.

I already know how to retrieve the info into a table, however, that info changes every day.

When a button is clicked it opens a form displaying that info from a table, the table contains the info from the web.

does any one know!
 
Heyy :) By the way can u tell me how u can download the info from an FTP site into ur table :) sorry for asking another question rather then helping u
Cheers!

goto file, get external data, then select add/modify FTP locations..


or when u add a new table, click import, select HTML file type, put the web address in.


 
since you already know how to do the process, you just seem to need to know how to get it to run on every open...

I would suggest making (if you don't have one already) a splash screen, and when the user hit's ok for that, run your code to do the work it is you're looking to run...

Just an idea for you...
