Robert,

I have decided to go the email route, for now. Only downside is you can only request 25 at a time, so the VFP app has to send multiple emails if you need to track more than 25.

I have emailed requests for up to 100 packages at a time, and their system sends back the response pretty quickly (within a couple of minutes, round trip). My goal is to have an email address devoted to receiving the tracking results, and have a VFP app pop into that mailbox until it has received all pending requests. Of course, then parse the data.

I hope to automate the process without relying on Outlook; I suppose I will get my hands on something like the Mabry Controls to be able to do that.

HTH,
