If there are any links left (for instance frames which you want to be shown) these will then be coming from a different domain. If they are adressed relativly in the HTML, they won't work since you don't have these files on your machine, and if they are called with with the UNC you might run into security hassles because of cross domain scripting.

Well yes, if you go outside of IE to handle this you'll have a much easier time, but htis is not really a good imp[lementation option for a VFP application.
>BTW: just read the article: congratulations for showing many faces of IE with examples and "common sense" reasons to use (Why couldn't you write that one 3 years ago <g> ? It would have spared me many hours back then!). I haven't looked at the IE recently, but the hint on execWB(4,0) was something I had looked for and had not found or read somewhere else for quite some time. How did you find that one ?
I did write a good part of this 3 years ago <g>. It is in my Internet Applications book. I republished some of this material with more additional information and many more examlpes now though because I keep seeing a lot of questions about this stuff.
I've used the WebBrowser ActiveX control extensively in my applications so I've figured out a few things. Basically all of the IE functionality is there so if you can do it with the UI you can probably do it via code...
