How do you "read the PostData parameter"? Do you have a VFP object that is getting passed the PostData? What object has the beforenavigate2 event? If you have a VFP object whose BeforeNavigate2 method is being called with the safearray PostData, it's a trivial exercise to turn that into a string.

The VB code is just walking an array of bytes and building a string.
*-- Assuming PostData is an array of bytes
cStr = ''
FOR nInc = 1 to ALEN(PostData)
cStr = cStr + CHR(PostData[nInc])
ENDFOR
MESSAGEBOX(cStr)

Since it sounds like you have a web brower control, I'd try creating a class with a method that can be bound to the web browser's ctrlWB_BeforeNavigate2 event with EventBinding to catch the PostData parameter.

It should be populated when a user fills out a POST form and submits it in the webbrowser control. I have managed to locate code in VB that would do what I want but I can't come up with VFP equivelent code.

>Basically we have a team of engineers that spend a large amount of time each day logging onto dozens of manufacture web sites, submitting search forms, copying text descriptions, links, and saving pictures using save as. Then they end up doing a whole lot more work after this to create design documents that end up being Excel documents with no structure. I want to record their actions to get them to the correct pages automatically then allow them to click on images and select text and use my VFP app to create structured design documents. It's an attempt to streamline workflow and give structure to the process.
