Kurt,

If all you are trying to do is read or make a hit to a website, you can use the ReadURL() function from my website. It makes API calls instead of loading the full blown IE.

>Everything works fine if I run the COM .dll on my pc. It also runs fine if I run the code (as a .prg file) from Foxpro Development on the server. It only fails when running on the server as a COM+ .dll. I have logged into the server as the same user as the COM+ application and configured Internet Explorer so I'm pretty sure is not a user rights issue. Also we use a proxy server and both machines have the MS proxy client installed.
