Hi,

I am trying to write a loop to capture pictures accessible on the web and copy these into an OLE object. Employee pictures are on a web server and other that manually opening each one in a web browser and copy and pasting manually I cannot transfer these over.

I have tried adding a Web Browser to an access form (called: webber) and loading the image into webber and then passing the value of webber to a OLE field. The picture shows in webber but nothing passes. Again the only way is the manually copy/paste. Any ideas how these images can be more easily downloaded into Access?

I have also tried setting focus and copying with no success. As webber is only an ActiveX element Access does not really see it as a component. Please can you help!!

Thanks,

Gary.
