Hi,
>You can also use the Internet Transfer Control as well. I've used it before to pull source
If you are already used to it - why not. But since it is only an activeX wrapper around WinInet I think it is safer to leave that step out, if nothing exists. There are some vfp wrappers around WinInet: recommended, because even with a ADSL or cable connection your pc will not be the bottleneck.

If you need parsing, MSHTML is a great help: much is already done and you can walk the DOM tree.
Yes it is slower, but if you anticipate changes on the web site, best performance may be secondary to ease of change. Depends on the actual case IMHO.

>Once you get your brain around regular expressions you will be spoiled and never want to use VFP to parse strings.

Possibly...
