Passing parameters to CGI from VB

[zampag]

I am trying to pass a parameter on the URL string simliar to this :

h t t p://server.com/cgi-bin/load.cgi?rpt_name=My Test Report

The code for load.cgi looks like this :

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
require "sybperl.pl";
use CGI;
$query = new CGI;
$rpt_name = $query->param("rpt_name");

The $rpt_name variable only gets "My". If I put quotes around My Test Report, I get a server error. How can I get the entire string, even if there are spaces in the parameter?

Thanks

try:
Use the webbrowser control, set on invisible and do this

WB1.Visible = False
WB1.Navigate "http://server.com/cgi-bin/load.cgi?rpt_name=My_Test_Report"
'Try that???
