Question:

I need to create a WinBatch Wrapper that will launch a WebPage and pass a predefined username and password to the webpage. Can you recommend an extender or sample code to accomplish this? Thanks, and by the way, your WebBoard has saved me countless hours!

Answer:

I guess the question needs more definition.

Why do you want to do this?

1. Login to a web page just to keep it alive?

2. The beginning of a series of automated transactions of with the web page?

3. Pre-staging the web page for a human user so that they do not have to enter the userid/passowrd?

For 1 and 2 - WinInet Extender

For 3 - OLE. See...
