>WE are currently running a Bluezone mainframe. Right now the user goes into the mainframe and downloads files from the mainframe to their hard drive. Does anyone know of a way I can use vfp 6.0 to automatically perform this action; connect to the mainframe, download the files and disconnect from the mainframe?

Jeffrey;

One way I hae done this is with a "screen scrubber" like Rumba. A "bit" of a pain. Hope someone has a better way.
