I'd like to put code in my PB app to download a file from the internet. I want to keep it simple, if possible. I tried this:
run('C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
It works ok, It finds the file, and opens a File Download window which asks if you want to open or download the file.
I would like to tell iexplorer where to put the file.

I tried this:
run('C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe c:\q-logo.zip')

but didn't work. :(

Any ideas?
 
Your right it wouldn't work if Internet Explorer was installed in a different directory, but I haven't even started to address that issue.

Does anyone have any info about how to download a file from the internet?
