Sergey,
Currently the users navigate to a certain web site and then page using a name and password. In that page they enter a serial number. That brings up a page with a set of file links for downloading. Each of the links starts with the serial number. I have the user hot key to my program and enter the serial number. I have already set the web site and directory in a setup record. I just have to append the serial number to the file name and web site strings and can then easly download the files directly into my VFP app using some windows API functions. If all the addresses are correct it works wonderfully.

The problem comes from A. the user has to enter the serial number (minor hassle) and B. The web site changes often enough to cause major problems for some users becuase they have to go back into the setup program to change the server address. ie HTTP:\\SERVER1.MYCO to HTTP:\\NEWSERVER.MYCO6. If I could read the HTML text of that page I could save the users all that hasle.

John.

>>Hi all. I have an application that has to download data using the links on a web page that I have no controll over. I can download the files once I have the full URL of each of the files but currently the user has to enter at least part of the address. To make matters more interesting they change web servers every few months. I can find the window and get the handle and I can read the window title. Is there any function I can use to read the html source?
