>Anyone have sample code that allows VFP to open up a web site and have the page contents as a string variable?
Something like:

oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
*oIE.Visible = .T.
oIE.Navigate("http://address.....")
* wait while navigation is not complete
lcInnerText = oIE.Document.Body.InnerText
.....

Good Luck
