To get the contents of a link
Add Inet Control to form
( Ctrl-T check microsoft internet transer control)
Add Command button
add textbox

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Command1.Enabled = False
    Text1.Text = Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.vbforums.com")
End Sub
 
Private Sub Inet1_StateChanged(ByVal State As Integer)
    If State = icResponseCompleted Then
        Command1.Enabled = True
    End If
End Sub
