need to download a file from the internet

[TheGreenOne]

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

http://www.freewebs.com/ellenweb/Q-Logo.zip')

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

http://www.freewebs.com/ellenweb/Q-Logo.zip

c:\q-logo.zip')

but didn't work.

Any ideas?

run('C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

http://www.freewebs.com/ellenweb/Q-Logo.zip

c:\q-logo.zip')

What happens when the user has installed Internet Explorer in an different location., say d:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe?

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?

instead of using the full path to locate the internet explorer file simply change it to:
run('iexplore

http://www.freewebs.com/ellenweb/Q-Logo.zip

c:\q-logo.zip')

with the location: i havent a clue but hey keep trying !!!
