Hello, I posted the following in the C# forum but without one answer.
But perhaps now in vb.net someone has some guidelines !
This is my question :

I want to write a vb.net program that does completely automatically what,
until

now, I do manually, witch is describe below :

    1. I launch IE (6)

    2. I browse to my desired download page, say
http://www.site.com/download

        This download page contains some textboxes, checkboxes,

radiobuttons, a DOWNLOAD BUTTON and text

    3. I check some checkboxes, select some radiobuttons, enter text in some

textboxes and click on the download button

    4. I receive a File Download Dialog

        I browse to select a path/filename for the file

        I click on the save button

The file is then saved on my pc.

Now I want a vb.net program that does the following :

    1. Browses, SILENTLY, to my desired download page
(http://www.site.com/download) and fills in a form

        SILENTLY means :

            . no visible browse page (I do not want to see the download page

as in IE)

            . vb.net code must be able to check some checkboxes, select some

radiobuttons, enter text in some textboxes

            . after filling in data, vb.net code must be able to click the
Download button

    2. vb.net code must be able to trap (event) the returned data, always
SILENTLY, i.e.

            must be able to trap the File Download Dialog, fills somewhere

(?) a path/filename and download the file

Hope this is comprehensible.

Any help, code/articles/HowTos.../, is welcome.

Thank you very well in advance.
