>>>Not exactly a huge re-write. This works for me:

objHTTP =  CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
>>>objHTTP.SetTimeOuts(1000,1000,1000,1000)
>>>objHTTP.Open("GET","http://google.com",.F.)

>>>s = objHTTP.ResponseText

>>Looks like the best bet so far - what do the various time outs mean and how do I get HTTP6.0 - system tells me I son't have it - am I using the wrong version of IE or do I need to download something?
