Any help would be *greatly* appreciated! Thanks in advance!

You need to parse the frames page for the FRAME SRC tags

try this:

Code:

---

Option Explicit
Option Compare Text


Public Sub DownLoad(remoteFile As String, localfile As String)
'insert download code here
Dim b() As Byte
Dim fnum As Long
On Error Resume Next
fnum = FreeFile
' Retrieve the file as a byte array.
b() = Inet1.OpenURL(remoteFile, icByteArray)
Open localfile For Binary Access Write As #fnum
Put #fnum, , b()
Close #fnum

End Sub

Public Sub ParseFile(Filename As String)
Dim fnum As Byte
Dim strTemp As String
Dim pos As Integer
Dim strSRC As String
Dim Char As String
Dim i As Integer

fnum = FreeFile

Open Filename For Binary As fnum
  strTemp = Space(LOF(fnum))
  Get #fnum, , strTemp
Close #fnum


Do
  pos = InStr(strTemp, "frame ")
  If pos > 0 Then
    'trimto frame
    strTemp = Mid(strTemp, pos)
   
  'trim to src
    pos = InStr(strTemp, "SRC")
    strTemp = Mid(strTemp, pos)
   
    '<frame name="contents" src="contents.htm">
   
    'trim to "
    pos = InStr(strTemp, Chr(34))
    strTemp = Mid(strTemp, pos + 1)
    strSRC = ""
    For i = 1 To Len(strTemp)
      Char = Mid(strTemp, i, 1)
      If Char = Chr(34) Then
        Exit For
      Else
        strSRC = strSRC & Char
      End If
    Next i
   
   
    List1.AddItem strSRC
  Else
    Exit Do
  End If
 
   
Loop


End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim remoteRoot As String
Dim i As Integer

DownLoad Text1.Text, "c:\tempfile.htm"


remoteRoot = GetRoot(Text1.Text)
 
ParseFile "c:\tempfile.htm"

'so far so good
'now download the files

For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
  DownLoad remoteRoot & List1.List(i), "c:\myfiles\" & List1.List(i)

Next i

End Sub

Private Function GetRoot(Filename As String) As String
On Error Resume Next

    ' Return the path name from the full file name
    Dim Counter As Long
    Counter = Len(Filename)
    While Counter > 0 And Mid(Filename, Counter, 1) <> "/"
      Counter = Counter - 1
    Wend
    GetRoot = Left(Filename, Counter)
  End Function
