same problem here. the answer might have something to do with this method

HRESULT get_Document(
IDispatch * FAR* ppDisp // address of variable for IDispatch pointer
);

Retrieves the automation object of the active document, if any.

i tried following code at the command window

oie=createobject("internetexplorer.application")
oie.visible=.T.
oie.navigate('c:\vfp\sample\vfpie')
oDoc=oie.document()

if you type show object vfp informs that oDoc is an object but without any properties. i was hoping oDoc has a property that can will give me the HTML source.

If anyone finds the answer let me know.
