Thank you.

Very carefully.

You're welcome.

Set xml = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
xml.Open "POST", <URL>, False
xml.Send
response = xml.responseText

But I do not know how to "xml.send" ,i.e, "Post" the login credentials.

I guess I need to do an xml.send of the credentials in tems of the input the login page expects so something like

xml.send name=EMAILADDR value="email address" & name=PASSWORD value="password"

but I haven't had any luck with this.

So does this satisfy answering your other question?

Status: offline 		Hi, I am trying to achive the samething.. I have post my question here.. http://www.visualbasicscript.com/m_64707/tm.htm

To login to a website use the following

xml.Open "GET", "http://test", False,"USERID","PASSW0RD"
xml.Send

To select a Link on the site which will transfer you to that page, simplay access that link

xml.Open "GET", "http://test/private/login.ssi?WEBINDEX=3&JUNK=1", False,"USERID","PASSW0RD"
xml.Send

What I am stuck is on Sumbiting a form..

This just errors

xml.Open "POST", "http://test/private/login.ssi?WEBINDEX=3&JUNK=1", False
xml.Send "loginid=USERIDTEST&pw=PASSW0RD&confirmpw=PASSW0RD"
