I cannot search the java code for the url since the returned url is generated at the time of calling the link from the 1st page. The data after the '=' in the url is used to generate the page itself when called by the browser.

After looking over the IE::Mech module, that looks like it will work for what I need. The integration of the OLE module will let me grab the pushed url and I should be ok at that point.

ikegame, thanks for the info, especially the reference to IE::Mech. I hadn't come across that one before and would not have even thought about doing this that way.
