Hi,

I would like to know if is possible to use VB6 to get information from
a webpage using the WebBrowser component.

I need to retrieve data from a webpage to store in my local database.
For exemple, I do a search for books and the results will be stored in
my db.

Can someone help me?

Cheers!

Claudi

You can grab the entire web page, place it in a string and parse out the
parts you need. Here's some code to read the page. The parsing's up to you

Looking at the entire page as a string in a WebBrowser control
