Hi

Thanks for every suggestion for my previous posts.

 I use VFP7.

I wanted to accomplish the following task.

*******************************
 I use a table "Update.dbf" in my program. I update this table very often
 and post it in my web site.

 I have a button in my program. The user clicks this button to download the
 "update.dbf" from my web site.

I wanted to achieve the following:-

 1. The user clicks a button

 2. He must be automatically connected to my web site.

 3. The file must be downloaded to the local machine WITHOUT ANY DIALOGUE
BOX .

 4. The user must be notified that the download is complete.
****************************************************

I posted the above message in this forum. I got few suggestions. One
suggestion from Mr.Andrew worked very well.

I droped an OLE control in a form with few commands to accomplish the above
task.

The program worked in the desired way in the development machine.

I use VFP Install Shield Express to prepare the distribution CDs.

When I compiled the program and tested it in other machines with different
OS, either the program hanged or I got an error message saying that "OLE not
registrered".

Then I included "Microsoft Internet Transfer Control" in VFP Install Shield
Express merge modules.

When I tested again, it works well in Win98,WinME.

But the program hangs in WinXP(both Home and Pro). I tried to put firewall
settings to the lowest. Still I face the same problem.

Can anyone suggest me a solution to solve this problem?

 Thanks once again
