    It's not lack of knowledge, it's, as Hack intimated, lack of interest in helping someone with your attitude.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.

    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

    So I posted asking for help with an attitude ?
    I think not, it just makes me mad when somebody just can't tell me if they know or not, or tell me if I have an attitude which when I asked for help I did't,

    Thank you!

    There's tons of code here on the forum for scanning html or scanning web pages, you just have to do a search.

    hint: you could always use the vbscript5.5 regex methods to extract URLS...
