web from command button 1

[DanNorris2000]

I would like to put a command button on a form and on click event go to a specific web page to check some exchange rates then return back to form after closing IE
Thanks

You can use the Inet control to:

1) Access a certain web page
2) Read the html source into a string
3) Strip out the exchange rates you need

You dont need to display it or close the web page; it can all be done without displaying the page to the user.

If you actually want to see the website, use the WebBrowser control

Sounds great but it is a little out of my programming range. I really just need to popup the url go to the bottom and get the rate to key in. baby steps for me

Add a Webbrowser control to your form (Project|Components|Controls|Microsoft Internet controls), set it's visible property to False.

Add 2 command buttons
Add this code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
WebBrowser1.Visible = True
WebBrowser1.Navigate "

http://www.tek-tips.com"

End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
WebBrowser1.Visible = False
WebBrowser1.Stop
End Sub

For any other details, see VBHelp|Webbrowser control
