Dunno really quite what you're asking for. Here's a start to see
whether we're on the same page: Assuming VB5/6, select Microsoft
Internet Controls from the Project Components list, place a web
browser control on your form, and add

WebBrowser1.Navigate "www.borland.com"

in the form's click event, or add a command button and put the code in
there. You'll see the web page loading as if you were in your 'real'
browser. Then there's the Document Object Model to investigate.

Unfortunately, you won't find much documentation from Microsoft about
this control. They seem to want to keep its existence a secret!
