Have you searched the net properly, coz if you are saying that so many ppl have made it then you will find some examples on the Net.

No ive used the progs theve made before but they would never realease source code or anything like that.I just wanna know if it will be alkot of code

What you should do is, first try to find out what format is their database in...becoz if you can get to know the format and the exact address of where it is kept then the job is quite simple. But if you dont even know where the database (that keeps all Yahoo Ids) is stored and what fields does it have, then no one;s going to help you here. Why dont you contact the company that has written that program that you said to have used or contact Yahoo.

Hehe well its illegal and could get in **** but you just have to go through a website
profiles.yahoo.com
thats where all the database is for the names so i know its port 80 and profiles.yahoo.com now i just gotta work some code out?U know how to do that?Thx brotha

If you know where it is stored, do you know the fields? And then you will just match the field that stores all the ids to whatever is entered in the TextBox. I have no clue as to how to match it, you will have to now search for it. If the DB was on Sql, or Access I could have helped but I havent really done matching the fields kept on a webserver.
