>Anyways, here is my problem: I'm working on an "automatic downloader" app in VB6. It goes to a client's website, and downloads info for a client remotely. The client's website has a very simple user-id and password screen. My problem is getting past the login screen automatically. Right now, everytime the user starts the app, the program takes the user to the website and the user has to manually enter the admin name and password. After they have gotten past the screen, the app can get to anywhere on the site with the cookie provided. Is there anyway to give the cookie to the webbrowser control without forcing the user to go to the website (or I guess I could try and manually steer the webbrowser to the login site and post the right information)? More generally, is there a way to get to and manipulate the cookies a webbrowser has in code?
>I'm frustrated because the only help I've been able to find on the webbrowser control is in the SDK, and it is heavily slanted toward VC. Is there any resonable help for programmers trying to figure out the webbrowser control in VB?
