Thank you very much. This worked just fine on my machine at work. I'll test it out tonight at home and assign appropriate stars then (Any way to split them 1.5 - 1.5 for both you and Borislav?????)

>>I have been having problems with Internet connectivity at home. At various (seemingly random) times, the Online light on my cable modem starts blinking and we can't connect at all. I'd like to try to track when this happens so that I can report it properly to Comcast.

>>I know how to open an IE session from within VFP, but I have no idea what to examine (If I could capture the screen heading that would probably be enough). I also would like some help on how to close the IE session so that I can repeat the process five minutes later.

>>Any and all help will be gratefully accepted.
