Yes, that's it...I want to scrape a web page for my data. Fortunately the site is quite consistent so I do not anticipate having to change my code very often. However, how do I "scrape" a web site? Which method to I employ? What's the best?

Offline database........? -
Offline database........?Let's say I have 3 columns: stock symbol, current price, last price. I want to be able to enter the stock symbol and then my app retrieves the current price and last price from, let's say, yahooFinance. In effect I am creating a database by entering ONLY the stock symbol, without access to or connecting with an external database per se (Oracle, SQL, etc). The app populates the remaining fields from the yahooFinance web site and refreshes that information within a predetermined amount of time. I'm brand new to VB so I'd love some guidance with this problem. Also, curious about column sizing. The datagrid properties change each column to the identical size. How can I customize the size of each column seperately? Thanks.
