get web images into acess

[gazza110]

Hi, I am trying to import images from the web onto a form. I want to if possible store these in an OLE object to save on the database.

I have successfully added a Web Browser to a form and used VBA to navigate to an image, eg:

http://www.o2.co.uk/assets/O2HybridNav/Static-files/generic/o2_logo.gif

I want to be able to then pass the value to an OLE field or copy over. I have tried to use:

OLEField = WebBrowser.Value

however this only passes over the image web address not the actual image to store in the field.

PLEASE can anyone help me out here?

Thanks, Gary.

Pretty much everyone who reads this forum will also read "Access Forms"

You may want to read up about screen scrape which is a technique used to pull information from a web site. Not sure if you'll be able to physically download an image though.

**Be very cautious though as taking images from a website that you do not have express permission to use is a breach of copyright and no one here will help you code that!**
