Filling in Forms

[stuj1026]

Hi ... Hope someone can help .

here is a discription of what we are doing! We are an insurance company that handles medical malpractice. We have a filemaker database with over 4000 doctors in it.. We frequently have to goto the department of health website to check to see if a particular doctor has had any claims filed against them .. This information is only available on the web.. What we currently do now is

[1] print out the doctors information from filemaker..

[2] goto the department of health website-- enter in the doctors name and licence number. Hit the (SUBMIT) button.

If the doctor has had a claim against them it comes up in our browser.

Using the open url script will only bring us to the web page where we can enter the doctors name and licence number.

What we are trying to do is pass the licence number field from filemaker and the doctors name from filemaker to the internet using a script so we dont have to physically type it into the fields on the web.

So in other words we would click on the doctors name in filemaker which will take us to the department of healths website with the doctors name and licence number already filled out for us. All we have to do is hit the submit button on the website.

Stu
