Pass data from form to internet

I have an Order Delivery AccessXP database. When someone calls in for an order there is a delivery fee if they are more than 10 miles away. What I want to do is pass the customer address entered in the form along with our business address to something like MapQuest to get directions and distance without having to retype the information. Does anyone know how to do this?
Any help would be appreciated.

My guess would be through some sort of HTML or other internet programming code. Or some sort of Send To method which would send the data to a web page. But I would think that you could link your web page to the database on the web page end easier, so that it happens automatically, and have, say a hyperlink/button on the form that opens the web page?
