That's one way, but you can also subclass IE and populate the fields using
something like the following code which demonstrates doing some stuff via
frames:
* worldsgreatest.prg program - mostly stolen from other programmers!
<pre>
LPARAMETERS lclast,lcfirst
IF PARAMETERS()<2
return( MESSAGEBOX('Please pass Last and First names',16,'OOPS',4)
endif
Set Safety Off
OIE=Createobject('internetexplorer.application')
OIE.Navigate('http://jssi.co.shelby.tn.us/')
OIE.Visible=.T.
ckstatus()
Y=OIE.Document.frames(0).Document
If Y.anchors().Length<1
Return
Endif
* criminal court name search
OIE.Document.frames(0).Document.links(13).Click()
ckstatus()
x=OIE.Document.frames(0).Document.body
OIE.Document.frames(0).Document.Forms(0).XINNLN_000101.Value=LCLAST
OIE.Document.frames(0).Document.Forms(0).XINNFN_000101.Value=LCFIRST
OIE.Document.frames(0).Document.Forms(0).SUBMIT()
ckstatus()
FUNCTION ckstatus
* for some reason, this order of checking on IE works best
DO WHILE OIE.readystate<>4
ENDDO
DO WHILE OIE.document.readystate<>'complete'
ENDDO
DO WHILE OIE.busy
enddo
</pre>
I have this code, or something close to it in an application I am writing
for someone. It is the best of both worlds because it does the launching,
navigation and some population of the webpage for the user. It also leaves
the window open for them to continue on in any direction. The users are
probably at least three times faster doing this than having to launch,
navigate and populate their webpages.

Try this:
oHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
oHTTP.Open([GET], .lcMQURL, .F.)
oHTTP.Send()
.lcMQXML = oHTTP.ResponseText
lcHTMLCode = .lcMQXML

I did this back at a place in Michigan earlier this year, and I think I
did it with something from West Wind. I've got WW, but I can't recall
what program I used this past summer. Can anyone advise?
