Back in the old days, I would have used the Spyglass DDE interface for this. Nowadays, you can control an instance of Internet Explorer through OLE automation and the InternetExplorer object, although I'm not quite sure how to do this in Visual Basic, as I'm used to working in a C++ environment. You can try looking through the documentation at MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/webbrowser/reflist_vb.asp?frame=t rue or if you're familiar with DDE, you can try http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q160957 Regards, Jackson Yee jyee at vt.edu http://www.jacksonyee.com/
