Bob,

I've done something like this before. Don't know if the solution would work for you, but here is the basic idea:

oWeb=CREATE("InternetExplorer.Application")
oWeb.Navigate("http://www.yoursite.com")
nMaxSec=10
nSec=Seconds()
Do While oWeb.ReadyState#4
   If Seconds()-nSec>nMaxSec
      Exit
   Endif
Enddo
If oWeb.ReadyState=4
   STRTOFILE(oWeb.Document.Body.OuterHTML,"c:\yourfile.htm")
Endif

Regards,
Scott
