    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
     Bala
