is Internet Transfer Control the solution?

[manontheedge]

I'm working on a program where I need to be able to get specific data from an internet site that changes daily. Basically, I'm looking at 2 to 3 numbers out of a whole lot of numbers (among other things on the page). Anyway, I've done the majority of my programming in C++, and even then, I haven't done a whole lot with the internet.

I wrote a program (I'm using VB6 for this) where it will take you directly to the page from whichever day you want, but I'd rather be able to avoid opening the page and JUST get the numbers needed.

I had no idea how to do this, so I searched the internet and keep seeing "Internet Transfer Control", but I haven't found anything that clearly laid it out. So, I'm asking for help on how to use it, or should I be looking into some other method entirely?

actually, I just thought of something else. Is there a way I could just copy the entire page? or a way I could use a macro in excel to copy the entire page so I can just get the data from excel?

...either way, I'm still curious about how I can use the Internet Transfer Control to do this
