I use InternetOpenUrl to fetch the contents of a webpage. It works
in XP but in Vista it returns a "not logged in" page from the target
website. When you go to the page in Internet Explorer it displays
properly.

Anybody had experience with this problem?

I don't know about Vista, but I wonder if another
method might be easier? There's UrlDownloadToFile,
which is a simple file-downloading call.

If you want to communicate more directly with the
server you can also do it using winsock, bypassing the
Internet* APIs that are IE-connected:

I've never tried it, but Karl Peterson has a sample for fetching
webpages without API calls or Winsock. It uses the native capability
of VB5/6 UserControls to do downloads (including asynchronously).
Might be worth a try?

Thanks, but that I don't think UrlDownloadToFile handles cookies
required to supply logon information.

Thanks, but I think that does file downloads, not a fetch of webpage
source. Also, I don't think it handles logon cookies either.
