Hi Rolf,

after reading what php fopen() does, I think the FileSystemObject might be equivalent to it.

I'm not sure if this will work on a remote site, but you can use an ActiveX Script Task with this script. I've found this in MSDN

'**********************************************************************

' Visual Basic ActiveX Script

'************************************************************************

Function Main()

Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8

Const TristateUseDefault = -2, TristateTrue = -1, TristateFalse = 0

Dim fso, f, ts

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

fso.CreateTextFile "test1.txt" ' Create a file.

Set f = fso.GetFile("test1.txt")

Set ts = f.OpenAsTextStream(ForWriting, TristateUseDefault)

ts.Write "Hello World"

ts.Close

Set ts = f.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, TristateUseDefault)

TextStreamTest = ts.ReadLine

ts.Close

End Function

Another way might be using the ShellExecute API function

void CLaunchIEDlg::OnOK()

{

CWnd::UpdateData(TRUE);

//LPCTSTR lpszPath = "C:\\PROGRAMME\\PLUS!\\MICROSOFT INTERNET\\Iexplore.exe ";

LPCTSTR lpszPath = "Iexplore";

LPCTSTR lpszSite = m_Site;

ShellExecute(NULL, "open", lpszPath, lpszSite, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL );

EndDialog(1);

return;

}

Sorry, only in C++. but ShellExecute is well documented and works also with VB.

HTH

Cheers,
