Auto logon to <a href=http://www.investors.com?>www.investors.com?</a>
Hi, experts:
Do you know how to programmatically (VB/VBA/VBS) logon to a web site with Hidden field value?
I need your help to fix my code. I will send you [myLogonID] and [myPassword] if you drop me a line, my e-mail address is TigerIBD@yahoo.com
URL to get to the public login screen is http://www.investors.com/formslogin.asp
************************
my code is: http://www.investors.com/formslogin.asp/verifPwd.asp?htmUserName=myLogonID&htmPassword=myPassword
************************
-----------
You may write a solution based on:
VB or VBS or VBA or Excel Web Query
or Cookie function
or WebBrowser.Navigate
or whatever
Thank you in advance!

Dave,
Thank you for your prompt response. I just run the Encryption utility you mentioned.
myLogonID becames V6A59CXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXA26 79CA13B
and
myPassword becames
V9BEF53XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX9D6 C68779A70
How do we proceed?

Sorry, to "a" website... I thought this was a site you were working on. Then you could take in the encrypted values and decrypt them in code. If this is someone elses site, then this isn't going to get you anywhere

Dave,
Thanks again for your reply. This website is a public accessible website on the Internet with paid subscription. I am an individual investor, I would like to download 50 different companies' stock quote and technical data on the daily basis. That's why I need VB code to save my time.

Your program almost works except the "btnGo.Click".

Would you please modify the above code? Thanks a lot!
P.S. The original website source code is:
