                  sorry for the trouble but http functions which book can u recommend me a good bokk and is it SGML?? if it is how do i add the reference into VB it looks like VB.NET don't support it?

oh yeah i forgot to add in what's TSO?? and does the HTTP function provide methods in a way where by the program can interact with the website like for instance,lets say a textbox i have in my appplcation if i type hotels and i press a search button on my form will it gather results from the website and place all the information the way i want it in the form?

Beyond Forsaken,
VB.NET provides functions that let you talk to a web page.

Look at the system.net namespace. Specifically you would want to look at System.Net.WebRequest

I have no idea why you are talking about SGML.

TOS is Terms Of Service. Most companies don't like you to steal data from their web site. Your program will be doing that. You should check with the site your trying to get information from and make sure they ALLOW their data to be used in the way you want to.
