Mileage distance calculation

[aztarac]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie learnig ASP

I need to somehow need to calculate the distance in miles between two cities.

I thought that I could get my ASP code to enter the cities and states into Mapquest and the read the mileage from the response page from mapquest....but I'm not sure how I can do this.
Can I 'load' and use the input element's 'name's somehow on the Mapquest's homepage and then 'submit' from my ASP code. Then somehow search the source of the response page with the answer?
If this is possible How can I do this?

Or is there some other site/method to get this info.

Yes, you can do this. It's called "scraping", and if you do a search on that term either here or in Google, you'll find lots of help with it.
