Posting to a web page

[Sarah Reichelt]

Len you need to pair up the variable names with their values.
Something like this:

put "username=" & URLencode(tUserName) into myDataString
put "&password=" & URLencode(tPassword) after myDataString
 etc, etc.

Then you can use the post command as you have it below.

Cheers,
Sarah
