how to get data from a webpage in ASP

[friendpu]

Hi there everyone,

I am new in ASP and want to get data from a web page. I have IP address, username and password of the web page but I have not access to database of that web page. After login to web page, I want to select three options from dropdown lists, first is name, second month and third year. After that I want to submit form and then page shows data. I want to get that data and show in my page. Could anyone guide me……………..

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps the server-safe version of xmlhttp would help but you'll need to be able to re-create the 2 HTML requests.... the first for the login and the second for the dropdowns.

It might be easier to work out a method to query the remote database.

I had this problem with our website, the hosting company wouldn`t release the database when we wanted to move hosts however I managed to write a script that queried the database (I had passwords for the DB access) and outputted each row etc to a csv which I then used to create a new database.
