Thank you for your response. However, I do not want to write a full-blown
HTTP client for this.

Let me describe the situation:
I have a Win 32 delphi application to manage customer information running in
one window.
I also have Internet Explorer (7) connected to the credit-card transaction
company web-site. To authorize a credit card purchase we have to click on
the web page's «Purchase» button which brings up another page on which there
is a drop-down list for selecting transaction type and 3 input fields for
customer id, transaction id, and transaction amount.
Now we already have this info (cust_id, transac_id, amount) in our Win32
delphi application.
Is there a simple way to fill the input fields on the web page running in IE
with the information we have in our our Delphi appliaction?
In other words, must we write all this HTTP client stuff to have our Win32
app automatically fill in the input fields on the web page running
concurrently in our IE window?

TIA

Andre
