    You could take a look at the webbrowser control in VB6. This will allow you to load web pages into a web browser embedded in your program. When the page is loaded you should be able to get hold of the loaded document and traverse the HTML elements in the page.

    VB6 is very old. There are newer, free tools and languages that are more powerful, e.g. Visual VB Express or C# Express.
