If there is a sample C# application then it should be easy enough to adapt that so that it could be called from VFP and return the results.

Viv I can supply the following data

Account code L01113

HAWBS
20070724
20068759
20069266
20070670
20070680

But the email and password defeat me at the moment - I have gone back to the company from whom we are trying to extract the data for clarification

I am downloading .Net framework v 4.0 as we speak

What sort of object did you have in mind? I'm most comfortable with csv but please demonstrate what you have in mind

Thank you for all your help - much appreciated
