How to grab database information from ASP interface!

Hello all, this is a wonderful site!
This is my problem:

I have an online warehouse which I use to order thousands of parts from. This warehouse is basically a huge database with an ASP interface allowing me to query a specific model number, make of vehicle, model etc. to find products. Some days I find myself querying the site for HOURS on end. I was toying with the idea of finding/building a script to query the database for me, however, I have come to a roadblock as to how it would work. I just can't wrap the idea around my head. If anyone knows a language, script, or whatever that will prevent me from filling in forms and selecting drop down boxes 4500 times a day I would be willing to pay for this technology.
Thank you very much in advance,
Ryan

What does the system do at the moment? Why is it not sufficient? Since it already runs on ASP, it would be simple to add bits and pieces where needed to increase the functionality and usability of the tool.

How do you currently have the data organized? Do you have some sort of file that contains all of your QUERY information?

Also, this ASP interface, is it YOURS or one that you use? If you own the database, no reason why a simple application cant be written to allow you to automatedly read your input file, query the database, and spit out a completed report of matches.

It really depends on what your trying to do, I would suggest maybe reading all of the query's from text file or something so all you have to do is update the text file and it will run all the query's for you.
