'============================================
Here is what I did to do bypass the entry page for a site.
Fill in the page manually. Submit it. Highlight the entire URL string in the address bar and copy it into your program as a comment for safekeeping. This URL should contain all your data with keywords e.g. ?&LN=Yingling&FN=John&MI=. Once I now knew how the URL would look I could use Shell to sumit the URL already filled in. Many of these pages have no check to prevent you from skipping the entry page.
Hint. If the address bar is "destroyed" when data comes back, hit stop on yout IE right after you submit to "freeze" the address bar.

Look at the URL from the ? on. e.g.
?&LN=Yingling&FN=John&MI=
If figured out that LN stood for last name, FN for First name etc therefore

Public Function DisplayWhitepages(strLastName As String, _
                    strFirstName As String, _
                    strMiddleInitial As String, _
                    strCity As String, _
                    strState As String) as string
    Dim strURL As String
    strURL = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.whitepages.com/cgi/find_person_results.cgi?"[/URL] & _
             "&f=" & Replace$(Trim$(strFirstName), " ", "+") & _
             "&l=" & Replace$(Trim$(strLastName), " ", "+") & _
             "&c=" & Replace$(Trim$(strCity), " ", "+") & _
             "&s=" & Left$(strState, 2)
    DisplayWhitepages = strURL
    
End Function
