yahoo web page parsing - login issue

I have cobbled some code together from various places that reads a webpage's source code, mostly from this guy Ravi:
' code adapted from original c++ library from
' Ravi Bhavnani <ravib@ravib.com>
' http:'' Copyright (c) 2002. All Rights Reserved.

Basically, the code will go to a webpage and forward-scroll through the source to pick up the values you select. But it is set up for individual stock quotes. I want to make it more efficient -- so I set up some portfolios in yahoo under a login with lists of stock quotes -- but the source code it returns when I hit the page through VB says I need to login into my yahoo acct -- so it can see the portfolio pages. This makes sense as the portfolios are only available under my yahoo login - but I have no idea how to pass my information through or if this can even be done since it needs multiple pages to be hit -- not just returning a single public page. Has anyone solved this or have any ideas?

Dave
