Hi,
I've an application in which I need to download, every time it starts (on form_laod), a file from a url.
I know the name of the file, always the same; i need to know what kind of controls and statements I should use to make this...have you any tips?

Thanks
 
Have you looked at simply some sort of FTP command - perhaps Shell/Run it ?

Or else you can use an IE object:

set IEApp = WScript.CreateObject _
("InternetExplorer.Application")
IEApp.Navigate( "About:Blank")
IEApp.Visible = True

and maybe theres a Save there. I cannot find my reference for methods of the IEApp object now.

I make these feeble suggestions in the hope you will find out and tell me.
