    Wondering if this automation is possible?

    This seems a little complex and I want to know if it's even possible before I attempt to do it...

    Every month I pull several reports from a company website. Pulling these reports unfortunately takes time and I'm wondering if I'm able to automate this and save some time.

    Additional information..



    The company website is password protected and everyone needs to request access in order to use it.

    The reports are displayed in HTML I think. They just pop up in a browser window and I file>save as .txt and format it later. So this isn't a separate excel or word file that I download.

    Eventually I dump the reports into Word and format them in there.


    Being able to do this would be amazing. Let me know if you need more info.
