>>>Note- Yahoo's search form is wierd- it doesn't look like conventional search forms- the action is not clear. The wwIPStuff method I posted gets you results, but the results are "page is not found" or something. If you have the option to use IE for something like this, I would. It also makes parsing the results easier because you can filter out the HTML tags by using the Innertext property of any HTML element, including BODY.
Taking this one step further, how can I create an instance of the ActiveX IE control programatically to do some in-form browsing? I can draw them on a form all day and use them (still not very well, but I'm getting there...), but want to create one on-the-fly. Help?
