>Hello, was wondering if anyone could tell me how I can control Internet Explorer or some other browser using VFP 7.0. What I want to do is write a little VFP app that goes out and reads a web page every hour and saves the HTML source in a file. I did this a few years ago using a third party ActiveX component but would rather do it completely within version 7.0
I realize you said you wanted to do this without a 3rd party, regardless I think wwipstuff from
www.west-wind.com (shareware) is the best way to do this. It allows you to read a webpage into a variable. No need to automate a several megabyte piece of software (Internet Explorer). If you buy Rick's book you get an older version of wwipstuff for free.
