VB6 sucks and you suck for using it!

You could use VB to talk to the MT API and post into a new entry that way, but it wouldn’t be exactly the experience you’re describing.

I found some sample code here: http://www.devx.com/xml/Article/15491/0/page/3 Didn't do a lot of research into it but it looks like some solutions use .Net Managed code to do the actual communication

Bill, any further info about how to post via web service calls, etc.? I don’t know how to create an item via an xml call in VB. Got a link somewhere by any chance?

In any case, thanks. You too, mawado.

There’s no reliable way to do this. Mainly because you’re asking to post via a browser. There are two many types/versions of browsers to make this work with any sort of reliability. What you could do, however, is post it via web service calls and then pull it up in an editing window on the browser. Essentially create the item via an xml call and then pass the editing URL to the browser. That’d probably work.

Strictly speaking, I’ve only used .net and not VB6. That said, can’t you write the html page with the form, action, filled in text box and all to the local disk, then load that local page to the browser? When the submit button is pressed, the form only reacts to action, not where it was loaded from (ignoring partial urls for the moment).
