Try using the Internet Transfer Control (MSINET.ocx) in the Project Components list. If you named the ITC Inet1, for instance, you could do the following.
strRawText = Inet1.OpenURL("

http://www.somewebsite.com")

This will return the website in the form of raw html text and set it to the specified string variable strRawText. From there, you can search the string for some indicator of the session number and pull the desired info out of the string.
Hope that helps
