Hi Anthony The bugger you're after is the ServerXMLHTTP or the XMLHTTP components. They're pretty standard on IIS servers, so you won't have to pay to have them installed which is the case with ASPTear et al. A good place to start with it is this article from 4guys: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/110100-1.shtml Or straight from the Beasts mouth: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/htm/ xml_obj_iserverxmlhttprequest_7zlc.asp HTH Norman
