How do I extract text from Internet Explorer while using Access 1

I find it extremely useful to use DDL commands to extract information that exists in other programs. In older programs, such as a PC3270 emulator, you could easily automate tasks by searching for titles of fields and populating databases with the text that followed.

I can't get that mechanism to work between Access and IEXPLORE. I can use internet explorer objects to open a browser and navigate to an URL, but I can't find the commands to extract the words (or presentation space) off the page.

There are many uses for this (send a name to anywho.com and populate the database with the address and phone number), but I haven't even found the documentation that references the capability.

Any help would be appreciated (Examples would be very helpful).
 


I think you can use the Internet Transfer Control for these kinds of operations.
