    Query from Website

    Hello,
    Is it possible to create a select query that would pull data from a webpage.

    The user would enter an address into a text box on the Access form in order to identify the closest store location which would populate another text field on the form.

    The website I am seeking to use/communicate with is



    https://locations.td.com/



    I realize scrapes of data can be done but we are just looking for one offs.

    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    I don't think so with this web page because it does not present results in a tabular structure. Access can link to an HTML file saved locally but not a browser webpage I think. I think Excel PowerQuery and MS PowerBI are able to link to tabular structure on webpage. I say 'think' because that's as far as I got in my research.

    Power Query can if there is a tabular data. I tested this site with PQ after inserting a zip code and then trying to upload using that link. It failed as the table structure was not established in a manner that allows that to happen.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
