Hi Anton,

Here is some code that I use to do this:

TrackPackage                ROUTINE

 WebBrowser              = CREATE(0,CREATE:OLE)
 WebBrowser{PROP:Create} = 'InternetExplorer.Application'
 WebBrowser{'Visible'}   = True
 UrlString  = 'http://www....'

 WebBrowser{'Navigate(' & CLIP(UrlString) & ')'}

! Waiting until page load

 StartTime = CLOCK()
 LOOP
   IF WebBrowser{'ReadyState'} = 4 THEN BREAK.
   IF CLOCK() - StartTime > 1000 THEN BREAK. ! 10 seconds
   YIELD()
 END ! loop

! Fill fields

 WebBrowser{'Document.forms("SearchForm").SearchField.Value'} = |
CLIP(Pkg:TrackingNo)

 WebBrowser{PROP:Deactivate}

 DESTROY(WebBrowser)

You will need to look at the HTML source for the target info.

HTH,

John
