passing data to a web form (external) in vb(vs05)

Tom
Hello all,

Is there a method to fill out a web form and click the submit button in
vb.net?

I'm attempting to programmtically submit raw GPS data to
http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/OPUS/ for processing.

I can get the form up in a window but cannot fill in the blanks. NGS is not
interested in creating an open script for the submittal.

Thanks in advance

can't you just do it using an HTTP get instead?

Oh, I see that it uses a POST.
I'm not sure how to upload a multi-part Post using VB.net, I know how in
Delphi.

Hello Tom,

Yes, it is possible to do it. The "updatesForm" form sends information with
POST and you can do this using HttpWebRequest. You might find this article
useful: http://www.netomatix.com/httppostdata.aspx.
