how to save internet pages (pdf)

[MHMol]

Hi all
Can anyone tell me how to save pdf files on the internet with VB.
The pdf files are numbered sequentially, so let's say the URL is:

"http:\\www.abc.com\page01.pdf"
"http:\\www.abc.com\page02.pdf"
"http:\\www.abc.com\page03.pdf"
etc.

I've been manipulating a sample program (ActXDoc.vbp), so that it produces
these files just by clicking a button. But it is very tiresome to have to
save them all by hand. Is there someway to automize this proces and save
these pdf's directly into a file on the harddisk?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Use the Inet transfer control (or inet API) to download the URL.
It makes no difference what file type it is.

And lets not forget the automization... put the part number into a FOR-NEXT
loop along
with the FORMAT function to set the URL name...

Dim x As Long
Dim URL As String
For x = 0 To 3
URL = "http:\\www.abc.com\page" + Format(x,"0#) + ".pdf"
'insert download function here -- example: Call Dload(URL)
DoEvents
Next x
