to view an html page

[amitabh]

Why don't you use WebBrowser control. It's a very easy way to display pages on the form. You can use the component by including Microsoft Internet Control in the component toolbox.

SAI - you need the webbrowser if you want your form to contain the page, there is no other way.

If you don't need the :

how can i view an html page in a vb form

bit, then we can show you how to grab the users browser & open the page, but if you need this INSIDE the form, then yes, you're limited to using the webbrowser control.

what's wrong with using this anyway
