How to post data from Access form into a twitter account?

[neelsfer]

I have a race timing application and when an athlete completes the race, i would like to post his/her results into my twitter account.
Is there anybody out there that has done something similar?
Can it be done?

I found some Sample Code on the Internet, and I placed it In-Inline for the sake of clarity and brevity. Since I do not have a Twitter Account, I cannot tell you that is actually works. I can, however, tell you that it does Compile. Good Luck, and let us know how you make out. Follow the Instructions below:

1. Set a Reference to the:
   

    Microsoft WinHTTP Services, version X.X

2. Place the following Declaration in a Standard Code Module:
   

   Public Const HTTPREQUEST_SETCREDENTIALS_FOR_SERVER = 0

3. Execute the following Code:
   

   Dim strInput As String
   Dim WinHttpReq As WinHttp.WinHTTPRequest
    
   strInput = InputBox("Type in text of Twitter Post", "Post to Twitter Demo")
    
   If strInput = "" Then Exit Sub
    
   Set WinHttpReq = New WinHTTPRequest
    
   WinHttpReq.Open "POST", "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml?status=" & strInput, False
    
   WinHttpReq.SetCredentials "<UserName>", "<Password>", HTTPREQUEST_SETCREDENTIALS_FOR_SERVER
    
   WinHttpReq.Send
