Hi Timothy, I'm sorry for the delay, the setup is pretty straightfoward
in most situations, here an example of a webservice that gives you
the location for a specific ZipCode; (could not find any free one
that would work that gives you weather); register the web service
in the Task Pane in Fox and that will let you see the methods available
from the service, in this case there is only one. If you can not find
a weather web service at least you can use ShellExecute to navigate to
a page; let's say MSNBC.COM, dump the page to a text file and read it from there.

Good luck.

>>>Can someone point me to the way to have a control like a label display time/weather from an internet connection? I assume it involves a com server web connection? Thanks
