I don't think this is possible but wanted to check and make sure. We have to enter data manually on a website and then click a submit button to send the data to them, one record at a time. I want to write a program that automates entering this information and sends the data, the same way the submit button works (by sending the form data). Let's say I have 10 records that need to be entered into this website. Is it possible to write a program that creates and auto-fills 10 pages of this website, and then all the user has to do is click the submit button? Is it possible to emulate in code the process that occurs when clicking the submit button? The partner running the website hasn't been helpful in automating the process so I'm trying to work with what I've got. Thanks.
 
The old VB6 used to support 'sendkeys' and apparently Excel 2007 still does...

And according to MS "This function is used by the upgrade tools to emulate the Visual Basic 6.0 SendKeys method. In Visual Basic 2010, use the My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys method instead."

You could do it...

It would be nasty, depending on the amount of fields, but it could be done
