Thanks for the information, Rick. As for what I am trying to do? I'm 67 and trying to keep my brain entertained and exercised to avoid becoming a diaper wearing vegetable in a nursing home. :-) All the help and contact with others, is really appreciated. I call the process, recreational programming. The app I am fiddling with gathers text (mostly business news) from the internet for analysing, so I may become fabulously wealthy and move to Hawaii.

Never stop having fun folks.

And thanks again.

>I don't know what you're trying to do here, but to build a spider it's usually better to use plain HTTP requests (ala wwHttp or XmlHttp) to retrieve HTTP responses. This is much faster and more efficient (since there's no browser rendering involved) and it can be done synchronously one at a time. Parsing links out of a document is not terribly difficult and there are ActiveX and .NET libraries that can easily do that if you don't want to build it yourself (although a simple RegEx expression can do that just as easily).
