What you will need:
[list]6 Text boxes
[list=1][*]txtLocation[*]txtTemperature[*]txtCondition[*]txtHumidity[*]txtZip[*]txtBuffer[/list=1]
1 Command button
[list=1][*]cmdGet[/list=1]
1 Winsock control

1. Wsck1[/list=1]

Public Sub Pause(Length As Double)
Dim StartTime
StartTime = Timer
Do While Timer - StartTime < Length
DoEvents
Loop
End Sub
---------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cmdGet_Click()
txtBuffer.Text = ""
Wsck1.Close
Wsck1.Connect "wunderground.com", 80
End Sub
---------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Wsck1_Close()
Dim Str1 As String, Str2 As String, Str3 As String
 
On Error GoTo Weather_Error
Pause 0.5
Wsck1.Close
Wsck1.Tag = "CLOSED"
If txtBuffer.Text <> "" Then txtBuffer.Text = Mid(txtBuffer.Text, InStr(txtBuffer.Text, "<"), Len(txtBuffer.Text))
 
'Location
Str1 = Mid(txtBuffer.Text, InStr(txtBuffer.Text, "<title>Weather Underground: ") + 28, Len(txtBuffer.Text))
Str1 = Mid(Str1, 1, InStr(Str1, " Forecast</title>") - 1)
txtLocation = Str1
 
'Temperature
Str1 = Mid(txtBuffer.Text, InStr(txtBuffer.Text, "<tr BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF><td>Temperature</td>") + 68, Len(txtBuffer.Text))
Str1 = Mid(Str1, 1, InStr(Str1, "</b>&nbsp;°F") - 1)
txtTemperature = Str1 & "°"
 
'Conditions
Str1 = Mid(txtBuffer.Text, InStr(txtBuffer.Text, "<tr BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF><td>Conditions</td>") + 47, Len(txtBuffer.Text))
Str1 = Mid(Str1, 1, InStr(Str1, "</b></td></tr>") - 1)

txtHumidity = Str1 & "%"
Exit Sub
