Query online database

[VbAndersonic]

Ok, ive posted this before and I have had some replies but they still havent been what i am looking for. I want to query a search engine's database (eg Google) and receive the list of URLs it returns and input them into a listbox. Is there a way to do this? Please help, i am desperate! I know there is a way, as WebFerret does this using the Winsock control.

ok i think i can help you now!

Basically use the internet control!

Like so:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.google.com/search?q=" & Text1.Text
End Sub

To save the results either save the pages url into an access db or copy and past the page into a rich text box or something!

Good luck

Thanks, but thats what I wanted to avoid. At the moment, I am doing what you suggested by downloading the search URL and scanning it for links. This is messy and unrelialble, but I dont think there is any other way.
