I have a form with a combo box called "cmbWebsite s".
The combo box row source comes from a select query that returns rows:
0.WebsiteID
1.Website Name
2.Website URL
3.Username
4.Password
Only "Website Name" appears in the combo box. The other columns are set to zero length.
When the user selects a website, the AfterUpdate event will trigger code to build a string that contains the URL, Username and Password of the selected website, and runs it through the FollowHyperlink method.
The only thing I don't know how to do is format the hyperlink so the websites will accept the username and password and automatically get me into the site; like "Roboform".
Even though this isn't a pure MS Access question, I can't imagine that other Access developers haven't done something similar.
Does anyone know how to format a URL with Username and Password, so the FollowHyperlink method automatically gets you into the site?
Thanks,
Adam

I guess that would depend on the format that the Web site requires. For instance I have a map button for my addresses and I open a google map to display my contacts driving directions. The string I send to google maps is based on their format.
I also retrieve stock and index indormation from numerous sites but they require me to pass a string in a certain syntax.
All you need to figure out is what syntax the site expects and do something like so: -
Dim strURL As String
-
strURL = "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=" & txtAddrStreet & ",+" & txtAddrCity & ",+" & txtAddrProv & "+" & txtAddrPostal & "+" & txtAddrCountry
-
Application.FollowHyperlink strURL
-
cheers,
mshmyob,
Thanks for the reply. I know I need the format, but I was thinking that perhaps there was some kind of "standard" for usernames and passwords. Are you familiar with the program, "Roboform". It maintains usernames and passwords for any site you choose. Just click a button, and it stores the URL, username and password. When you want to return to the site, you just click it and in you go. How does Roboform manage to send usernames and passwords to ANY website without first knowing the format?
There must be some standard way to do this. Any one know how?

I'm not familiar with RoboForm Adam, but from your own description, it seems that it holds it per site. I expect it determines the format from usage somehow (and stores it with your username and password in its database). I certainly think (no great expert at this to be sure so don't take as gospel) that Mshmyob is on the right lines with this though.

I will try and look into it this weekend. I have done a little research and thrown something together but I am having a few errors. Give me a couple of days and I will see what I can come up with if anything.

I'm not sure of the specific syntax, but you may be able to use the ExtraInfo Parameter of the FollowHyperlink Method to accomplish this.

Just retrieve the Username and Password Control Names as well as the Form Name from the Web Site (View Source), and you should be OK: - Dim objIE As Object
-
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
-
-
With objIE
-
.Visible = True
-
.Navigate "<Your Web Site>"
-
-
Do While .ReadyState <> 4
-
DoEvents
-
Loop
-
-
With .Document.Forms(0)
-
.UserName.Value = "your login" 'Retrieve Control Name from Web Page
-
.Password.Value = "your password" 'Retrieve Control Name from Web Page
-
.Document.loginForm.submit 'Retrieve Form Name from Web Page
-
End With
-
End With

I've developed some code that is slightly convoluted, does not require advance knowledge of any Control/Form Names, and actually worked very well during many trials. It involves the use of the FollowHyperlink Method, SendKeys, and the Sleep() API Function. You can judge for yourself: - Declare the API Function:
- Public Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
- Execute the following code block:
-
Const conWEB_ADDRESS As String = "<YaDa, YaDa, YaDa>"
-
Const conUSERNAME As String = "<more YaDa, YaDa>"
-
Const conPASSWORD As String = "<still more YaDa, YaDa>"
-
-
Application.FollowHyperlink Address:=conWEB_ADDRESS
-
-
Sleep (3000) 'Delay 3 seconds
-
SendKeys conUSERNAME, True 'Plug in User Name
-
-
Sleep (1000) 'Delay 1 second
-
SendKeys "{TAB}", True 'Send the TAB Keystroke
-
-
Sleep (1000) 'Delay 1 second
-
SendKeys conPASSWORD, True 'Plug in Password
-
-
Sleep (1000) 'Delay 1 second
-
SendKeys "{TAB}", True 'Send the TAB Keystroke
-
-
Sleep (1000) 'Delay 1 second
-
SendKeys "{ENTER}" 'Send the ENTER Keystroke
NOTE: You can experiment with the Delays for better performance.

Here is a simple way of submitting your username and password to various sites. -
' you need a reference to the Microsoft HTML Object Library
-
Dim webBrowser As Object
-
Set webBrowser = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
-
-
With webBrowser
-
.Navigate "put your login URL here"
-
.Visible = True
-
' loop until the page has finished loading
-
Do While webBrowser.readyState <> 4
-
DoEvents
-
Loop
-
' username and password are the default element names - if they are different you need to figure them out and change accordingly
-
.Document.all.Item("USERNAME").Value = "your username"
-
.Document.all.Item("PASSWORD").Value = "your password"
-
End With
-
cheers,
Mshmyob, ADezii, NeoPa,
Thanks all! Lot's of great stuff to work with here. My biggest problem now is deciding which solution is best? It seems the real tricky part here is capturing the object names for username and password in the html form. I suppose I could create fields in the database to store that info, use view page to capture the actual names, and then slug them in when I run the code.
Not the kind of thing I'd expect most users to pull off. I could set "Username" and "Password" as default field names and that will probably cover most of it.
Thanks again!
-Adam

Hi!
Small challenge for you.
The index.php uses this file and calls layout(). Take a look at www.chatty.net this file
draws the chat login box on the right. I traced the CHAT button it submits and
goes to the index file again, I can't figure out how it opens the chatroom. I want
to get it to skip the login box and go straight to the room, with user name "guest"
or "" or whatever but I'll add a field to type the name in the chat room....
