Automating a task

[prometeus]

Dear AA Team.

I have a task that I was eager to automate for the last 7 days, it is the following:

1) First this URL needs to be opened http://www.allconferences.com/Science/Engineering/
2) Secondly I click the title of every conference to pull up detailed information about conferences
3) For example I click http://www.allconferences.com/confer...0080604121329/
4) I need to extract the data from all the fields of the table, such as: Event, Begins, Ends etc...
5) I need to input that data into a MS SQL Server database/Excel file
6) In this fashion I need to enter information about all the conferences,on the page http://www.allconferences.com/Science/Engineering/
except for those that are situated in the PAST EVENTS section at the bottom of the page, i.e were scheduled to begin at the past dates.

So basically as far as I understand AA needs to open first URL, then go through the conference URLs in the list open each conference page and extract conference info for each conference. But I am not sure how to do that.

Please help me in automating this task. I am using AA version 4

Thank you,
Robert.
