Ok, here's an explanation. When you use Execute method of Inet control first you would pass the address (e.g. www.yoursite.com (http://www.yoursite.com) or any other web site that you want to get the file from). Then you use GET command (it tells the Inet that the action will be GET something in this case MyFile.txt wich assuming that this file in the root directory of the web site) Next, you specify where to copy the downloaded file.
That's it.

About ICQ, lately, I can't use it here at work, so the only time I'm on it is afternoon at home (after 4PM eastern time)
