I have created a web browser with the VB6. The form is just inserted from the wizards of VB.
On Open the program there will be five instances of the form with different url to be navigated. It is all working fine.
My problem is. It is not recognizing the cookie setup in the computer. For instance TEK-TIPS Remember me setup cookie is recognized by Internet explorer. If open with my browser I have to login to the page for the first opening of the day. Then it is not a problem how many time you open or close it remembers me. But some of the cookies are not recognized at all.
Is ther anything I can do to remember the cookies?

Zameer,

Your question will be best answered in an HTML forum, not a VB6 forum since it is not an issue with the WebBrowser control.

The WebBrowser control you are using does not come from VB6, rather from the OS of the computer you are using. Therefore you are limited to the installed IE version and security settings of each client computer. This is also why it is not included with the other files of dependency.

Your issue is to use cookies that are not so complex and conform to earlier W3C standards. The only other option you have is to license a full or limited browser from Microsoft for development and distribution. Search their website for the IE SDK (formerly the IEAK) if that's the route you want to take.
