downloading files with IE built-in method...

[S.W. Rasmussen]

Handling file downloading with Randy Birch very nice code
(http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/internet/...ledownload.htm)
raises a second question:

I my case, the user should not be allowed to change the save destination for
the downloaded file. Does anyone know if it is possible to circumvent the
save dialogbox, for example by hiding it, or by auto-clicking the save
command button on the dialogbox closing the box with the destination path
without user intervention?

Cheers, Soeren

Perhaps I should be a bit more specific: Randy Birch suggestion (code to be
found at: http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/internet/...ledownload.htm) works
absolutely fine displaying a progressbar and downloading details. My
question was if it is possible to prevent the user from changing the
download save destination by hiding or auto-closing the save-dialogbox
before the user has a change to change it.

Cheers, Soeren
