Automating a manual task

http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx

From this site I hope I can obtain some basic information I need for a
website.
I have contacted them for assistance but nothing has been offered from them
so far.

Please advise as to what group might be more appropriate.

As it is now, I have to enter each individual number in order to obtain the
results.
Most of the time getting "No records found".

My idea is to have a simple script that would allow me to at least retrieve
those numbers that are assigned.
This would speed up the process and allow me to acquire what information I
need.
Or, is there a way to retrieve the entire database? Or at least those
assigned numbers?
I have no clues how asp works.

Thanks.

you can query a database to find /match information.

You can learn ASP or hire an ASP developer, this is a common task.

Hi all and thanks in advance, I have a frontend/backend scenario where the backend has a tendency to bloat quit a lot over a period of about 5 days. Once compacted, there is not problem but it needs to be done on a regular basis. From the administrator form, I can set the value of a field within the backend so that every minute, the main form of the database queries the value within this field and if it meets a certain criteria, a pop-up...

I am using multiple instances of the SHDocVw.InternetExplorer object, in a standard Windows forms c# app, to repeatedly check a specific set of Web sites for information The only problem is, not surprisingly, my app can interfere with the manual browsing of the sites being automated (probably where the sites use cookies to keep track of location etc) So, recently I moved the automation part of the app into a Windows Service, which uses...

Just started working in Access, and while I'm fairly confident in the basics, or so I think, anything advanced doesn't work too well. I've got a task I know should be easy to automate, but I don't know how to. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be wonderful. I've got 35 tables to create by running a query that filters a table based on two criteria, and then names them based on the criteria used. I have a table of...

I have to download files every day from a web based application and it's getting very repetitious. I would like to find a way to automate the task. What I have to do each day is go to a website that starts with a login screen. After logging in, the web application takes me to a page with about 20 selection buttons. I have to start with the first selection. That takes me to another page. That page has a menu bar across the top. I have...

Hi, I need to regularly check an FTP folder for the presence of a file, and if found, run a routine. Given that this is all on our ISP's servers, what is the best way to automate such a routine in ASP.NET? The end target of the routine is likely to be a MySQL database. If we were using SQL Server, I assume I could use DTS to trigger the process, but I'm

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
