>I need to be able to retrieve data from eBay from within VFP. By retrieve, I don't mean browse a link. For example, I want to retrieve the HTML for a specific auction into VFP and then parse out the info I need. Is this possible?

E-Bay makes it's auctions available as Web Services. You don't have to parse fragile HTML when you can get the data directly. Check out http://developer.ebay.com/
