I would like to import a specific piece of infomation from one cell of a table displayed on a web page using VB .net. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Not sure if it's the right way to go about it, but I would use the Textreader to read the html file and search for the specific value.

Does it help ¿

You looked into the System.Net.WebClient object?

This is what I was thinking of. But how do you access the html for the webpage? Thanks.

I think you can use that object to return the html for that page. Well if that isnt the right object, it will be the equvilent to the inet control getchunk function.
