I'm a self-taught programmer. I've dabbled in C++ and am working with some VBA.

I'm trying to code to speed up some very tedious procedures at my internship.

I am no longer satisfied with the ability to manipulate Excel.

I now need to be able to pull data from various websites and I want to be able to automate the procedure.

I have no real knowledge about various programming languages and development beyond my C++, VBA, and BASIC skills.

Where do I go so that I can start learning to manipulate Internet Explorer and read information from web sites?

Also, is there a language that can use and call VBA functions written within each of several applications?

Thanks!

You can learn Visual Basic and use the net namespace to fetch information from websites. This should be easy.

Learn visual basic, perl, etc...It sounds like to me that you are trying to simply have the program fetch some data and add it to a database...right? Any scripting language will do.
