Access DB and web based program

[Pancakes1032]

Hi All,

I was wondering if it is possible for Access to import data from a web based program? A little background: My company currently uses a web based program that is used on Chrome and only Chrome. It is password protected but getting into it won't be a problem since I have the passwords needed. All I want to know is if it is possible for Access to have a connection to a web based program like that and pull the data needed into tables. Also would it matter what coding is used for the program itself?

Thank you

Speak to the owner of the applications database and ask them if you can connect to the database or if they can provide an extract from it.

Without knowing the specific web based program you are using it will be difficult to give you any specific advise. It is a commercial application that you can share the name or is it a "home grown"/custom solution?

It is not common to allow a direct connection to a online database. It is common to use a API or web service that will allow you to extract data. I would look into the availability of an API or web service.
