I am sorry and this seems very daunting as a newbie here.  What I would like to do is create a job to run daily when I am gone.  Basically,  I need to log into my ISP site and have it run a database backup.

Here is my steps: 

1. Login to Website at:
https://my.discountasp.net/login.aspx

2.  Once logged in:  I click on the link on the left side under Database Management called:
MS SQL 2005, which the links takes me to:
https://my.discountasp.net/mssql2005-manager.aspx

3.  Then I must click on the tab called SQL Tool Suite, which takes me to:
https://my.discountasp.net/mssql2005-tools.aspx

4. On this page, I have to click on the image button called CREATE Backup

5. A box pops up and asks to "CREATE backup of SQL2005_699590_gvnw.  Are you Sure?
My options are OK or Cancel...of course I want to click on OK.

6.  Backup of my database starts...roughly takes 3-5 minutes,

7. I log off.

I attached a word document with screenshots highlighted with RED border as my selection, so I was wondering if anyne can point me to a tutorial or a sample that I can grasp to acheive this?

Thanks in advance.

-Chuck

Re: How to automate login credentials - Newby

 Are you OK with the job taking control over your machine? In general you may be able to automate the specific task in the background by using the "Download from Web". I am pretty sure that you can do this with the login part of the job. If you search the forum you can find some discussions about how to automate specific forms in the background. Below you can find some useful links:
