I have a frame on a web page that is displays information I would like to be
able to harvest. Someone said all I have to do is get the string from the
target frame and cut out what I need. Please point me towards the library I
need to reference. Thank you.

Gee, I was looking for help with the CODE I would need behind the FORM so the
user could collect the lat long from a web page viewed in a browser embedded
in the FORM and have the information stored in the ACCESS DATABASE.
But I guess it doesn't make sense asking this question in an Access Database
Forms Coding forum. Sheesh!

You really need to ask this question in a web newsgroup. Probably one like:

microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general

or

microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.db

would be a better choice. Where the information is ultimately stored makes
little difference.

Thanks for elaborating why you killed my post.
asp, net, jsp, c++ all use different code than what's revealed to an
access97 form with a web browser object. Just finding a work around for
solving the web browser object error required going beyound microsoft.
I managed to find what libraries I needed to reference to begin the process
thanks to Dev Ashish but this still didn't solve the problem I had with
trying to get the contenet of a frame from the main web page.
I managed, after alot of trial and error to find the reference I needed to
get the location of the frame window but it took a few more steps than the
the code the asp or the jsp libraries described.
In summary: I needed the object libraries revealed to the access form that
would allow me to reference the frame content of a web page in the web
browser control.

If I understand you correctly, you simply need to set a Reference to the
Microsoft HTML Object library. This will set a ref to the MSHTML type
library that exposes the desired interfaces you require. VB allows you
to directly cast the Web Browsers control's Object property directly to
the desired interface.
