screen scrape a web page

[taupirho]

I want to get the symbol, traded volume values and date (for eventual upload to a database) from the web page below. Is it possible using VB6. If not is there another way of doing it?

may I recommend looking into XML. XML is designed for exactly what you are talking about. And you get the info by reference rather than by location on the page.
