This would be very appreciated.. but all that I need is how to make a project that is the equivalent of an internet posting form... so when they click the button, it sends the form to become a BBChat post

outstanding.... I would suggest using the microsoft internet control. You can then generate in your vb app the URL, and pass the url to the internet control. This control effectively allows you to build "your own browser." using the internet explorer's browser.... if that makes any sense. It's more like, IE with your own wrapper, but.... you can always set it's visibility to false, and then navigate to the site.
The alternative is nasty.... a mixture of winsock and the http protocol
, Let me know if you need some additional assitance.

Oh Goodness,
I don't use it any more, but, you have to figure out if bbchat uses POST or GET, and that will change the way you have to go about doing this.... but the internet transfer control, basically just loads a web page. So, if the url, when you post a bbchat is something like this:
http://someserver.com/bbchat/bbchat....somepost=fooey
or whatever the case may be.... then you'll need to construct such an URL in your source code, and then make the internet control navigate to that URL...so...
then you could use the events that fire (such as on complete, or whatever), and you'll know your post is complete. If BBChat uses a different method, then you may have to write your own HTML Page from within VB... and then navigate to it. If you link me to BBChat (so I can examine how it works) then I'd be glad to assist you further.

1)and so, will that snippet be sucsessful in both GET and POST functions? Bcause I've looked at the source-- in the PHP HTML (PHTML) it uses the post method in the form... so thats that
2) Is there a way I can use this function without opening the page the data is being sent to?
