Ted and Mark, Thank you very much for your replies. Well I figured out I'm an idiot. There was some hidden fields in the form that I was ignoring. I knew they were there but when I looked at the javascript it had to do with what kind of browser the user might have. So of course I just forgot about it. After downloading firefox I was looking at the "page info" and it showed integers as values in the hidden fields. It all came together then because the server error was "mismatch Cint". I wasn't passing the hidden fields... That one hurt.
Anyway I'm on to the next problem in that the windows security warning window pops up when I try to download the file. I would think that Mechanize wouldn't be able to handle that because it's outside the object. Thanks again John
