There are 40 unanswered posts from this past week prior to my post. Why
haven't you tried to help these folks? There is no reward in heaven for criticizing me but much reward to gain by helping these folks. Steve "PC Datasheet" wrote in message nk.net... Does anyone know how to do a "screen scrape" to get data off a website and enter it into an Access table? Thanks for all help? Steve PC Datasheet |

There is no reward in heaven for criticizing me but much reward to gain by helping these folks. Steve Steve, Please re-read my post. While I admittedly was enjoying a laugh (a very good one) at your expense, I was not in any way being critical. I would assume that in the many, many answers you have given in this NG, you have probably answered some of mine (even if someone else actually asked the question). I do appreciate your time. I know how valuable time is. But you must admit, he pegged you. Darryl Kerkeslager |

There are two kinds of people on this group: available consultants and potential customers. I would love to come to this group and say, "HEY EVERYONE I CAN FIX IT HIRE ME!!!!". I just think that's inappro- priate for this group. That is in accord with USENET guidelines and the FAQ for this newsgroup. I've wanted, for some time, to add a sig line to my posts and use these groups more frequently in hopes of getting the word out, but I don't. I'm sure others feel the same way. Usenet, especially these tech groups, is not a place where its acceptable to hock your wares. The people in this newsgroup, except some who'd gripe about anything and troll when they aren't griping, have never objected to posters including a moderate amount of contact information in a SIG (there's no absolute limit, but 4 lines doesn't seem to be objectionable in most newsgroups). Where to advertise? How to get the word out on what you do? That's off- topic to this group. To answer that question I would suggest people try the newsgroup misc.business.marketing. moderated, misc.business.consulting or alt.computer.consultants.moderated. (FWIW, I moderate two of those three groups.) Nor, have the people here (same exceptions) objected to a reference to a commercial product when it is a specific and valid answer to a legitimate question. Because so many people here do contract work for pay, and because that isn't a specific answer to a question, many "non-gripers" have complained about Steve's "I can help you for pay" responses.

Steve PC Datasheet You could just contact that server with your own HTTP request. Not terribly difficult to do and then you can decode the response in code. The WinInet library has a bunch of API calls to do just this. -- '--------------- 'John Mishefske '--------------- |

ink.net... And what are you going to do since you only make smart remarks and don't answer many posts? [Excess newsgroups trimmed] A sense of humor will go a long way toward getting one there. Lyle has already answered more than his share, and now gets his reward in redheads. You've been around here long enough to know that, but perhaps not long enough to *know* that. -- Arvin Meyer |
