Easiest way to retrieve a file from website??

Hello,

I am looking for an easy way to retrieve a file from a given website..

I am building an app that will retrieve a .csv file
then TRANSFER text it into a table for further processing..

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

You can use the Internet Data Transfer library (WinInet.dll)

There's a sample at http://www.mvps.org/access/modules/mdl0037.htm at "The
Access Web"

If you look at the web page you downloaded it from this gives you
instructions on what to do when using A2000 or higher.
