Hi James,
There are many ways to do what you're trying to do. To begin with I would run the sample programs that come with Rick Strahl's wwIPStuff library:

Another approach is to create an instance of the MS IE Browser (either as a form control or as the browser itself). Once you have a handle on the instantiated object all of its properties and methods (and even the properties and methods of the document it contains) become accessable to you.
Once you catch on to what that allows you, It's almost like walking through Alice's looking glass.
Enjoy!
Hugh
>This is my first venture into accessing the internet from VFP. I need to pass some information from fields on a form to a url and retrieve some information back. The retrieval has to be added to the form's table. Any help or suggestions would be welcomed.
Microsoft hears loudest what the VFP community says about Visual FoxPro by looking at the bottom line!
