You need to use the Internet Transfer control to get the page's contents, and then parse the page for what you want. For the date, you will need to check when your program starts. Something like this for the date:
If Format(Now,"ddmmyy") = "230999" Then
'Check for update
Dim b() As byte
Dim strData as string
dim intCount as integer
b()=Inet1.openurl("myurl",icByteArray)
For intCount = 0 To UBound(b)-1
strData=strData & Chr(b(intCount))
next
if strData > GetSetting("MyApp","MySection","CurrentVer") Then
'download the new version
end if
