Hello Rick,

As I mentioned to Terry, I did something similar to what you mention here. The purpose of parsing out the HTML was to fill some fields in a table so the info could be processed automatically and generate some management reports. This also allows me to poll the site on a regular basis and track progress. This works OK, just looking for something a bit more efficient.

I'll have to take a fresh look at the west-wind tools, downloaded them quite awhile ago, but understand there are many new enhancements.

Thanks

Bob
