How do I get Access to automatically place internet orders?

Hi I am doing a university project and I am VERY stuck on what language I would need to get my Access database to automatically link to pre-defined web sites and make orders of pre-defined quantities. Thanks.

You can do it in Access using VBA.

Thank's. Are you able to tell me what VBA is and where can I find out about it (any books or websites you know?)? Cheers.

Its part of Access. It is VB for applications. So the language is Visual Basic with some enhancements for working with Access.

One way to use it is to create a new Module. The module is a blank page ready to put code into. You can also create code in Forms to respond to events (like Load forn, Button click etc.)

Its really quite powerful. The easiest way to read about it is in the MS Access Help. Most books on MS Access will also cover it.
