Err...
Please correct me if i'm wrong but I thought MSXML was a part of the Web 
browser install.

Due to the vagaries of IE7, the secure web page I wish to download from 
requires me to manually logon first.
It won't let me do this via "post".

I have to do this using IE7. I've tried FF 7. It doesn't work.

Snip of code:

   Dim http As New MSXML.XMLHTTPRequest
   http.Open "post", "http://www.advfn.com/blah,blah,blah", False, 
"Username", "Password"
   http.send
   Str = http.responseText

If you know of a better way please tell me. preferably with FF.

Thanks
