Using Access 2003, is there a control that will allow me to access the web to
get data?

Currently the user has to go to two different supplier websites to research
product cost using IE7 w/tabbed browsing on.
They have to switch view IOT compare the cost and availability.
Then this data has to go into another software application IOT generate the
service call and invoicing.

What I want to do: Build an Access application so that the User opens a form
to research our cost for a product. Rather than open IE7 I would prefer the
user to open the form and enter either the part number or car data once and
have that information sent to each website and put the answers side-by-side
for immediate comparison. FWIIW, The part numbers are standardized or you can
look up the part by drilling down thru make/model/year.

If I can get this to work, it will be a runtime distribution.

Thanks in advance.

I can't tell you how to do this, but this article

point you in the direction you want to go.
