hi
you can use Internet Comtrol to this.
by creating object of SHDocVw.InternetExplorer you can catch hold of browser, and with the object of MSHTML.IHTMLDocument2 you can catch hold of curent html page, you can get html objects like form body colors etc.
you can get the name and password feilds suply values and submit the page through you vb program with the help of these two component.(Provided you do have valid username and password)
i have done the same job to crawl the site which was password protected. so try it. if you can't i can write the code and give it to you.

:0, what happens?
Richie_Simonetti,
When I go to page that you linked, I get bombarded with pop-behind ads, and I can find nothing that looks even vaguely like "IE COM..." topic. Thats what happens.
If you object to a recommended disposition, please do so in full sentences, and explain why you think you or another expert should deserve points. That would be very helpful. Thanks!

That is a good explanation of how to automate login when the username and password need to be entered into an HTML form. Although the asker may have been interested in logging to a site that requires a true secure login, I agree that since the question is ambiguous, that could be construed as an acceptable answer. I am changing my recommendation to:

Take in mind that the example is for Hotmail, which is a secure site.
The problem isn't how secure it is if you have to write user and password in a html page.
Other problem would be if you have to login to a server (as Win NT user/pwd stuff) when popups a window asking you for an user/password.

That is exactly what I meant the "grey box" login like this one:
https://investment.datek.com/
one solution to that is to use
https://username:password@investment.datek.com/
In this case, the browser handles the initial error by placing the username and password in the header.
