Accessing the Web to GET data

[DavidSt]

Not sure which group to post this question...

Is there any way to pull data from the web into a Form? I have a database
that I use to road directions/detail for bike trips. I print these out when I
go on a bike ride.

I may be reaching a bit too far here but...it would be great if I could
somehow manage to pull in the weather report for that day from some weather
web site.

You could put a Web Browser Control on the form and manipulate its
properties, but it may be easier to use the Internet Data Transfer
