Complex URL on a web-based application...

[Rick B]

We manage our call tickets and customer records on a new web-based system.
I would like to add hyperlinks to my Access database to allow the user to
pull up a particular call ticket or customer record. The URL when I am in
our Call management system does not contain the ticket number or any
specific information, so I can't fugure out how to make a link based on
that.

I pulled up the source code for the call ticket search page. Each ticket
listed is a link that can be clicked to pull up the specific ticket. The
source for this link looks like...

</tr><tr class="Item" nowrap="nowrap" align="Left">
<td align="Center"><a
href="javascript:__doPostBack('_ctl5$m_dgList$_ctl7$_ctl0','')">3820696</a><
/td><td align="Center">292001</td><td align="Center">292002</td><td
nowrap="nowrap" align="Left">LONG BUICK/PONTIAC/GMC</td><td nowrap="nowrap"
align="Center">Open Ticket</td><td nowrap="nowrap">04/15/04</td><td
nowrap="nowrap" style="width:100%;">#55 - PAY+</td>

In the above example, the ticket number is 3820696. Does anyone know how I
can create a link based on this? Is it even possible to link to this type
of application from Access?

Thanks for any advice,

Rick B

Well, it might be possible, but you need to dig into
the .asp page (or other system) to figure out what is
getting passed, and what you need to do.

Otherwise, you can control IE through Automation to submit
a form. Not trivial to do, and if they change the setup
of the page, you would have to redo your code.

Best answer is contact the person who created the web
system and tell them what you want to do.
