[Aaron [SQL Server MVP]]

Is it possible to use something like the filesystemobject to read a

webpage instead of filename?

No.

My issue is two-fold.

I need to download content on a webpage once a day and then parse the data.
I know how to parse, so once I get the page, I'm ready to go.

Here's my question.
Is it possible to use something like the filesystemobject to read a
webpage instead of filename?

If yes, great! How?

If no, what can I use to automatically download a webpage that I can then in
turn parse?

Thanks!
