I think you're wanting a VB6 client to connect to BattleReports and read information back, interpret it, and do something locally.

Your VB6 client can do that, however if you're reading HTML, and the formatting of it changes in unidentifiable or predictable way, your VB6 client will stop working.

I used to do the same thing to download stats off NFL.com each week, and process them in SQL Server.

The program doesn't run ON the target site, it runs on your own computer and connects to the target site the same as you would, via HTTP, probably the WebBrowser OCX.

kinda, i want to connect, read information, and send information.
ie: i want to post on the forum without going to the form and be able to edit what i said after i posted and be able to edit that post.

battlereports is a tounyment brackit generator sit - im makeing a chat plugin(manage everything chat side without going to the web page)

im just wondering if somthing like that is possable

That doesn't make sense.  Post on the site without going to it?  That's what your browser does.  You're not really on the forum, your browser is receiving data from, and sending data to it.

You're simply wanting to write an alternate browser that has some automated functions for a specific website's abilities.

not so much as a web browser as an interface.

thats not what i ment, if i make a new form - and add a boxs for subject/message, dropdown menue for message icon, and a buttions for post/preview/reset form
i wouldnt be visiting the web sit forum (i gess it would be site specific)

As grok said it would still be considered a web browswer.

I understand the reasoning you want for it, but is a site/forum that hard to navigate through that would require a 3rd party type application to do the work?

for what i want it for it would be alot ezer:
im makeing a tournyment brackit generator for BG3 (www.novaslp.net/bg3/ ), wich works with bots and lets them in to private channels on battlenet(a free gameing service for 'StarCraft' 'starcraft:broodwar' and the warcraft series), if u have ever tryed to manage a 32+ man tourny you know it can be hell
so im writing a plugin to automate signups,win reproting, cheeter reproting, ect to make it alot ezer, a bracket generator plugin has been requested several times but one has never been made so im makeing one- a big one

Free?  Neat.  How can we sign up for this 'battlenet' thing?

right now any game that is made by blizzard intertanment www.blizzard.com ie: its only for there games, its crap except for the warcraft 3 part of it, but its free - anything older than WarCraft 3 has its latter flooded with hacked accounts and 30-50% of the ppl hack, and i hope u like playing with 56k kittes who are around 10 years old

now back to my question.........

[iago]

Ugh, hackers.. I know how grok feels about that for sure.

I just wish somebody would make a game like Diablo that you could play online with a free service like that
