>Thanks, no more error :) The next step is to get something to show besides an empty form - the control is there but nothing shows even though visible is .T. This is a different type of control than anything I've ever used...what PEMs should I be looking at? It requires a "Document"? Is there a vfp example somewhere? (Questions, questions, questions :)

Your most important method will be navigate(). You pass it a URL and that's it. Once the document is downloaded, the entire HTML object model is available through the IE.Document object. The WebBrowser control itself has a lot of other properties too, that allow you to go back, refresh, and pretty much everything you can do in the IE browser. I believe Ken Levy has built a functional browser in a VFP form using the control (it wouldn't be hard- just figure out the proper methods and put buttons and stuff to tie the VFP form to th control). Check out his website classx.com. By far the most helpful resource for me is the HTML help file for the control that comes with MSDN: ieref.chm. It details the entire object model for the control (the object model for the control and IE through automation are the same); if you know one, you know them both, with few exceptions.

If you don't have the help file I mentioned, or can't find what you're looking for in it, feel free to pos, and I'll do my best to answer what I can.
