I am "posting" the information to the browser, because I don't want the
parameters to be cached by the browser, or stored in the history. I
had thought about a temp file, but was really hoping to do it all
within the vb app, so that I leave no footprint on the users computer.
Thanks!!

You can avoid the caching by adding a random number parameter
at the end of the url:

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=slashdot&t=somerandomnumber

The CGI at the server end will not care about the t=...,
but the browser sees a new unique url that it can't pick up
from its cache.

The problem with the history is another thing, though...

The temp files can be deleted by your app when you exit your
app.
