Is it possible to write code that would open a web browser, open a web page, enter information into forms on the web page, and simulate the pressing of the enter key to send the form? If so, in what language?

Yes. Sort of.

You could do it in VB using the built-in support for HTTP connections, browser objects, and the like.

Might be trickier than you think though.

I wrote a program that did just this a couple of months ago. I did it in PERL and i wrote all the http-access routines myself, (very easy) but i later found out that there are several libraries available that do just that.

I based my program on a telnet-client example i found in a O''Reilly book.

But as ''eight'' say, i see no reason why this couldn''t be done in C++ or any other language.
