• oh yeah we are on the same page. there's another thread on CLR that got me all excited becasue i got it to work to read a web page...for me, i added it and was using it to harvest info off the web.

    i've also used Watin(Web Application Testing In .NET), which allows you to automate a web page by creating an Ie or FireFox isntance...you cna use it to fill out forms; that has a setting to destroy it's borwser on completion....

    someone has a good signiture line aobut how SQL is like a hammer and using the right tools for the job...you can use it to saw boards in half, but you won't like the results.
