How do I save a gif file that is located in URL? 1

[MiniMe2]

I have used Inet1.OpenURL in order to locate and view a gif file (i.e.,

http://path.my.gif).

The only item displayed on the web page is an image (gif).

I would like to programatically store that gif image on my local computer.

How can I do this under VB 6?


Thanks

Hi strongm,

Thanks for your response!

I did a search and saw the reference to a function named URLDownloadToFile.

Is this what you are referring to?

I am in the feature planning stages and will try my luck with the coding in a couple of weeks.


Best regards,
