this is what i have now. it crashes on the "createobject" line. i am just testing using weather.com, in production i would be trying to open up URLs hosted by other companies and our own remote web servers.

Procedure GetWeather(m.zipcode) As String
Local loXMLAdapter As Xmladapter
Local lcXMLCustomers As String
loXMLAdapter = Createobject("XMLAdapter")
oIE = Createobject('internetexplorer.application')
[[stuff deleted]]
Endproc
