I have permission to use the content of a html table from web page 'x' in my own page 'y'. I want to control the format of page 'y' so I only want to extract the data (text) and 'embed' or 'include' it in a table of the same structure on my page.

The content changes every day so I want to automate the process, can ASP do this? Is there a better way or even existing software to help?

Thanks
 
Unless he pulls his data from a database like sql server that broadcasts an IP so you can pull the data dynamically, you'll have to copy the data manually. (To the best of my knowledge...but I'm pretty sure about that.) -Ovatvvon :-Q
 
The ADO Stream object has the ability to take a URL as an argument, and go grab a snapshot of a page (in plain text), which you can then save and do whatever you like with. Permissions are always a real hassle with it, though.

That's the best I can think of.
