Thanks for the input Igor, I will try and find some of my original research
on the problem and post it again. It might have been a problem related to
using VB if my memory serves me. I defiantly know there is some feature in
browsers that stops you accessing the DOM of a webpage if its in a frame
which has a different domain.

Anyhow, it sounds like from what you say that the building of the BHO will
not be difficult. I think the question mark area is how easy will it be to
make an event captured in the BHO to be able to reliably pass this
information to my VB program, and then for my VB program to be able to pass
instructions back to the BHO to control the web browser.

I suppose one example of asking the question another way would be, take the
google tool bar. If I knew the programmers of that, how easy would it be for
them to create commands so I could control the Google bar functionality from
a running VB program?

Guess, I'll have to clue myself up a lot more on the subject so I can ask a
clearer question as well.

Feel free to put any more advice and I will go away and try and learn a bit
more.

Kind regards

Dave.
