Filling & retrieving data from website with VB

When I print an envelope, I would like my Access database to automatically fill in the address information into the web form at URL and receive the standard address with zip+4.
Can someone show me how to call up the web page, get the info into the page and retrieve the results using VB?

TIA

Send a message via AIM to unatratnag
guess

Here's a wild guess, i'm not even sure if this is possible but it's a start

Do a Post to this site
http://www.usps.com/zip4/zip4_response.jsp
AKA pass in the data to this form in a post with same names as the input files on the previous page. I really have never worked with jsp let alone know what it really is, so you'll have to mess around and see if that works *shrug*

My guess is that it works like an asp page.. as unatratnag said, then you have to do a POST or GET to that page.
I'm sorry that I can't show you the example code, it's on my home computer and I'm at work now.
