>Being a relative novice in VFP 6.0 programming, I need to learn how to automate tasks in Internet Explorer 6.0. Would anyone know where I can get information(hopefully as free as possible) on writing programs that access IE, login to websites with usernames and passwords, publish forms, reports, files, etc. onto our web site on IE, and retrieve assorted types of files from those web sites into my working environment? I apologize if I posted this in the wrong category; I wasn't sure which one to pick.

You would have more control if you chose to use a control/component that is specifically for communicating with the HTTP protocol.

There are a variety of options.
Cheapest:
Use API calls for basic functionality. More work but less cost.

Professional Level- Higher price:
Third party ActiveX components. Multiple products available, including one from my company.

I hope this helps a bit.
